Extracting Text from PDF

PDF Studio is able to extract all text contained within a PDF document. During this process PDF Studio will extract all text in the document and export the raw text data to the .txt file. The text can then be copied into a text editor to be formatted if needed.

Note: The text will be exported with no formatting except for return characters (designates move to the next line). PDF Studio does not currently support exporting PDFs into the Microsoft Word format.

How to Extract Text from a PDF

Open the PDF Document you wish to convert
Go to the Convert Tab > Convert To > Text on the toolbar
Choose a file name and location to save the .txt document that will contain the extracted text
Click Save to extract the text and to the file selected

Note: Only documents that contain text using font characters can be extracted. If the PDF contains scanned images of documents or text created using Path Content you will first need to OCR the PDF in order to be able to extract text.
