PDF To Text

In the eventuality that you are managing PDF documents with no active security options, then copying the text is an uncomplicated manner of selecting the desired portion of content and paste it into another program.  Then again, if the document is protected, your best bet would be to use a third-party software solution.
PDF To Text is a utility that enables you to convert PDF documents into plain text files that are easy to manipulate and edit.

Intuitive appearance and unsophisticated functionality

The program comes with an uncluttered and elementary GUI that is well-structured and easy to navigate. While in the right side you can preview the list of documents that you want to process, you can analyze the text content in the larger right panel.
Since the content is converted to a plain text file, you do not need to worry about blank spaces or other inconvenience that could appear during the processing. In fact, TXT files make it incredibly easy for anyone to delete, add, copy and paste words, sentences and entire paragraphs.

It does not have OCR capabilities

It is important to note that the application cannot read content from images, but rather it only works with documents that contain text. While it does create a TXT file when attempting to extract the content, the file is usually empty. It would have been nice if the app came with OCR capabilities, as it would make your work with scanned documents, ad posters and other similar marketing files for example, considerably simpler.
You should know that the application includes a couple of options that enable you to define the type of output and its formatting. Therefore, you can keep the original file structure or split it page by page and preserve the layout or opt for raw text data.

A utility for anyone who is batch editing PDF files

In case you are involved in projects that entail manipulating dozens of PDF documents on a daily basis, then perhaps PDF To Text can make your job easier.
