Get the text of a PDF in reading order, to copy or save as a .txt file, right in your browser.
The text is read from the PDF on your device, in reading order: two-column pages are reordered, repeated headers and footers left out, and tables become tab-separated rows. Scanned pages can be read with on-device OCR.
No uploads, accounts, ads, or tracking. The processing engine runs locally on your device.
A .txt file with the text in reading order: paragraphs as lines, tables as tab-separated rows, links with their address. The same text is also available as Markdown, with headings, lists and images.
Yes. Pages without a text layer can be read with OCR on your device. The first time downloads a few MB of recognition data; check the result against the PDF, since OCR can make mistakes.
No. Markdown keeps structure (headings, lists, links, tables), not fonts or positions. Compare with the PDF page by page to check.
No. Files stay in this browser tab and are never sent to a server, whichever tool you use.
Free, with no account, watermark or daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.

Yes, for the tools you have used once online: the site keeps their files in the browser, so they then run without a connection.
Your PDF. Your device. Your rules.
