Frequently asked questions
Can PDF to TXT read scanned documents?
Scanned documents may need OCR first because image-only pages do not contain normal selectable text.
Will formatting be preserved?
TXT output is plain text, so layout, tables, images, and styling are not preserved.
When is TXT better than DOCX?
TXT is useful for quick copying and searching. DOCX is better when you need editable formatting.
