About the PDF to Text
Pulls the plain text out of a PDF, ready to copy or save as a .txt file. It reads the text layer directly, so it is quick and exact where one exists - and it tells you plainly when there is not one, which means the file is a scan and needs OCR instead. You can keep the line breaks as they fall on the page, or let wrapped lines flow back into paragraphs.
Extract text from a PDF
The text is read straight from the PDF's text layer, so it is fast and exact. Copy it, or save it as a .txt file. Keep the line breaks as they fall on the page, or let wrapped lines flow back into paragraphs - the second is what you want when pasting into an email or a document.
If the result is empty, the PDF is a scan with no text layer: run it through OCR PDF first. For headings and lists kept as structure, use PDF to Markdown; for an editable document with formatting, PDF to Word.
