PDF to Text File: what to know first

PDF keeps layout the same on every phone and computer, which is why forms, applications and prints ask for it. Plain text has no layout, only characters, so it stays small and opens in any program. The PDF to Text handles the conversion in your browser, so the file stays on your phone or computer.

Steps

1. Choose a PDF file.
2. Wait a moment while each page is read.
3. Press Copy text or Download .txt.
