Extract Text

Note:

•	The text file you obtain when you convert a PDF file to .TXT Text format will not include any image or annotation. Extract Text tools allows you to extract only the content of the page.

Note:

•	You can extract text from OCR'd PDF file, edit and reuse the text that is normally locked inside scanned image. The selected text is actually contained in a hidden layer, separate from the document image. You can select and copy text in this layer just as you can in a text document.
