Get the words out of a PDF

Reads the text layer of a PDF page by page and gives you the whole thing to copy or download — handy for quoting a document, feeding text into another tool, or reading a PDF as plain text. It all happens locally, so a private document never leaves your device.

Note: this reads the existing text layer, so it works on digital PDFs. Scanned/photographed PDFs are just images and would need OCR, which this tool doesn't do.
