Pull all text from the entire PDF in a single pass — no page-by-page selection. Get the complete written content of reports, papers, and books ready for editing or analysis.
Line breaks and paragraphs are reconstructed from the PDF layout via pdfjs-dist. The output isn't a wall of text — it reads in the order a human would read the page.
Hit copy and the entire extracted text lands in your clipboard, ready to paste into Word, Notion, or ChatGPT. Or download as a plain-text file for archiving.
Use Ctrl+F or your editor's search to find specific terms across the extracted text. Useful for quickly verifying that the extraction caught the section you actually need.
Text streams directly from the PDF content stream — no OCR pass needed for digitally-created PDFs. (Use the OCR tool for scanned image-only documents.)
Text extraction runs in your browser via pdfjs-dist. Legal briefs, medical notes, and personal correspondence never get sent to any server.
