PDF to text pulls every character stored in a PDF into a plain TXT file in UTF-8, marking where each page begins. Images and layout are left behind. If the PDF is a scan, it doesn't actually contain any letters, so run OCR on it first and then extract the text.

How it works
Lines are put together by their position on the page. With text in two columns, lines from the left and right columns can get mixed up, so read that kind of result through before you send it.
Choose the file and press “Extract text”.
Worked example
You need three pages of a tenancy agreement pasted into an email to a translator. You get one TXT file with “Page 1”, “Page 2” and “Page 3” markers. Open it in Notepad or any text editor and copy what you need.
Questions people ask
Why is the result empty?
The document is probably a scan: a picture with no letters inside. Use OCR first.
Does it work with Cyrillic?
Yes, provided the PDF describes its characters properly. The TXT is saved as UTF-8.
How do I copy text from a PDF that won't let me select it?
Sometimes copying is blocked by an owner password. If the file is yours, take the password off with Remove PDF password, then extract the text.
