How to Convert PDF to Text

pdftext

We’ve previously discussed ways to convert Text to PDF, but what if you wanted to do it the other way around?

Typically, copying and pasting directly from a PDF file will result in messy globs of unformatted text, making it barely feasible large sections of text.

PDF Text Online is a free web based service which helps you extract the text, and even reformat it so you can paste it neatly into Word documents and still preserve a lot of the original PDF formatting.

Simple simple problem? Simple solution.

For offline extraction of text from pdf, I would recommend A-PDF Text Extractor. The app is available for free.
