Extract embedded text from selected PDF pages. Review page thumbnails, choose line breaks or flowing text, then copy or download a TXT file entirely in your browser.
Your PDF, password and extracted text are never uploaded to a server. Self-hosted PDF.js reads embedded text locally. No account, cloud processing or saved document history is required. Clear releases the document and text.
No. It extracts an existing PDF text layer. Image-only scans and lettering converted to outlines may yield no text. OCR is not included; pages without extracted text are identified in the result summary.
The TXT output does not preserve fonts, colors, tables or page layout. Line breaks are estimated from PDF text positions and explicit line endings. Flow mode collapses whitespace. Multi-column layouts, rotated text, unusual fonts and ligatures may need correction.
One PDF up to 50 MiB and 2,000 pages, with up to 100 pages per extraction and 5 million output characters. Individual document/page operations have time limits. If a selected page fails or you stop, no partial download is kept.
Enter the password before selecting the file. Only PDFs that PDF.js can open with the supplied password are supported. Passwords remain in page memory and are cleared with the document.
