The PDF to Text Converter is an advanced, professional-grade tool that extracts text from PDF documents with unprecedented control and precision. Unlike basic converters, this tool offers comprehensive page selection, intelligent text processing, metadata extraction, image extraction, and multiple output formats to meet any workflow requirement.
With granular page selection, you can extract text from all pages, specific page ranges (e.g., pages 5-10), or individual pages (e.g., 1, 3, 7, 12). The tool intelligently preserves document formatting, merges hyphenated words split across lines, removes headers and footers, strips page numbers, and maintains paragraph structure for maximum readability.
Advanced features include automatic metadata extraction (title, author, subject, keywords, creation date), image extraction from PDF pages, multiple output formats (plain text, Markdown, JSON), and comprehensive text filtering options. Perfect for document analysis, content extraction, data mining, accessibility conversion, and professional document processing. All processing happens locally in your browser using PDF.js for complete privacy and security.
