PDF를 텍스트로 — 무료 온라인 도구

A PDF to Text converter extracts every readable word from a PDF's pages and saves it as a plain .txt file — no formatting, images or layout, just the text itself, in reading order.

This is useful whenever you need a document's content rather than its appearance: pasting a passage into an email, searching a long report for a specific phrase using a plain-text editor, feeding a document into another tool that only accepts plain text, or simply archiving the words of a document independently of the PDF format itself.

Extraction works on the PDF's actual embedded text layer. A PDF created from a word processor or exported directly from an application has that text layer already; a PDF that is really just a scanned photograph of a page does not, and produces little or no extractable text, since there is no underlying text to read — only a picture of one.

Businesses extract text from reports and contracts for quick keyword searching or to repurpose content elsewhere. Individuals pull the text out of a form or letter to paste into another document. Students extract reading assignments into plain text for use with other study tools. Office teams use extraction to feed document content into search indexes or other text-based systems.
