Scanned PDF to Text

We all have the need to use PDF files in our daily life, in business or for personal reasons. But PDFs can be the source of much frustration when all you want to do is extract text for some sort of use or another. This is where a PDF to TXT converter comes in. Converting PDFs to TXT can be done with Transfonic, the fast, safe and easiest way to convert your PDF files into accessible text files online in a matter of seconds without needing expensive software or pro-level knowledge.

PDF files are built to look identical on every device. Word documents are built to be edited. When you force one into the other without the right tool, things break — headers collapse into body text, tables fall apart, images jump to random positions, and fonts get substituted. If this has happened to you, the problem isn't you. It's the method.

Word documents are designed to be edited. PDFs are designed to be shared. Once you've finished writing a report, contract, CV, or proposal in Word, converting it to PDF is the final step before it leaves your hands — and it matters more than most people realise.

Saving a Word document as a PDF is one of the most common things people do with Microsoft Word — and one of the most misunderstood. Some versions of Word call it "Save As." Others call it "Export." On Mac, it's buried under a different menu. On mobile, it works differently again.
