PDF to Word / TXT

Text Layer

PDF to Word/Text extraction converts PDF documents into editable text format client-side. The tool uses pdf.js to scan every page outline, reads Unicode text streams directly from the PDF array buffers, and outputs structured plaintext document sheets offline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract text from scanned PDFs?

This tool extracts text layers from native PDF documents. Scanned image-only PDFs do not contain character layers, so they must be processed using server-side OCR packages.


Does it support layout formatting?

Extracted text is saved as standard structured text (.txt), which preserves line spacing and basic document layouts without margins.
