About this tool

Copy all the text out of a PDF, Arabic included, or save it as a text file. The text comes straight from the PDF, so it's exact, and scanned pages can be read with text recognition.

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Choose whether to join lines into paragraphs and whether to read scanned pages.
  3. Select Extract text, correct anything you like, then copy it or save it as .txt.

Questions and answers

Will Arabic text be in the right order?

Yes. Arabic keeps its letter order and direction, and mixed Arabic and English lines are handled.

Can I edit the text before saving?

Yes. The result appears in a text box you can edit before copying or downloading.

Will the .txt file open correctly in Notepad?

Yes. It's saved as UTF-8 with the marker Windows needs, so Arabic displays correctly.

Are my files uploaded?

Everything happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
