PDF text extractor
Extract the text of a PDF (budget, certificate, contract) in your browser, without uploading the file to any server. Gives you raw text, not reconstructed tables.
Gives you raw text: it does not reconstruct tables. It also doesn't work with scanned PDFs that have no text layer (photos of documents).
Formats it accepts
Who it's for
A PDF with selectable text keeps that information in an internal layer that is not always easy to copy in full, especially in long documents or ones with several columns.
This converter reads that text layer with the same library Firefox uses to display PDFs (pdf.js) and gives you the full content, page by page, right in your own browser.
It does not reconstruct tables: if the PDF has a table, the result is the text of the cells in the order they appear in the file, not separate columns. Reviewing the result by hand is still needed for that.
How to use it without losing traceability
The recommended workflow is simple: keep the original file, process a copy and check the preview before downloading it. The converter performs one specific transformation, but it does not decide whether the data is complete, the units are correct or the result fits the system where you plan to import it.
What to check before using the file
Open the result and review several rows at the beginning, middle and end. Check sheet names, headers, separators, special characters and quantities. For technical or financial documents, keep the original beside the converted copy so you can explain which version was used and repeat the process if a difference appears.
