A practical guide

Bring report wording into a text review.

  1. Open a PDF whose words can be selected in a viewer.
  2. Extract the text and inspect the result by source page.
  3. Download or copy the text, checking names, figures and sequence against the PDF.

Try this example

Extract the embedded text from a five-page proposal and compare the quoted price and project name in the TXT output with the rendered source before reuse.

Before

  • Selectable PDF text

After

  • Plain text .txt
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Reading order may differ from multi-column layout. This is not OCR, Word conversion or a substitute for visual review.

Continue with the source PDF
What you get

Extract embedded text into a TXT file. Scanned pages need OCR; source reading order may differ from the visible layout.

Limits and important details

Maximum 10 MiB input, 200 pages and 4 MiB text output. Scanned documents without a text layer report an error instead of a fake successful extraction. Reading order, columns and fonts may not match visual layout. This is not OCR or PDF-to-Word.

Example

Extract text from a searchable report, review it in the result field and copy or download it. Original PDFs remain available after the text result.
