About This Operation
What to Expect
Extract selectable text from one or more PDFs. Each PDF produces its own plain-text file, with Page 1, Page 2 and later labels kept in source order.
Plain text does not reproduce fonts, images, columns, positioning or complex tables exactly, and complex layouts can have imperfect reading order.
Supported input
Text-based, valid and unencrypted PDF files. Scanned-image OCR is not included.
Output
One UTF-8 .txt file per successful PDF, with clearly separated page labels.
