About this tool
Reads the text layer of each page and saves it as UTF-8 text, optionally marking page breaks. Scanned PDFs without a text layer need OCR first.
Like every tool on YantraStack, it is free with no accounts, limits or watermarks, and it works offline once the page has loaded. See how to verify that nothing is uploaded.
Questions
It found no text.
The PDF is probably a scan (pictures of pages). It needs OCR, which this tool does not perform.
