PDF files are great for exchanging formatted documents between people who don't use the same software. But sometimes we need to be able to take the text out of a PDF file and use it in Web pages, word processing documents, PowerPoint presentations, desktop publishing software, search and indexing applications, or in content management systems.

TEXTfromPDF provides access to the text content in PDF documents without requiring any Adobe product. The extracted content is saved to text files where it can be easily searched, archived, repurposed, and managed. A console version is included for script or batch file execution.

What matters most to you? Speed or Accuracy? TEXTfromPDF offers both using multiple extraction engines optimized for different purposes.

Need Speed?
Boasting the fastest text extractor available on the market, TEXTfromPDF's "Simple Formatting" option can process hundreds of PDFs in minutes. This option utilizes an extraction engine written in Assembly Language.
