Extract Raw Text Streams Locally
Copying text out of PDF files can be extremely frustrating, especially when layouts contain multiple columns, tables, or complex grids. Standard copying often mixes lines up and destroys tabular formats.
Our local PDF to Text Extractor runs a layout-reconstruction sorting algorithm in-browser, grouping text segments within vertical coordinate ranges to preserve reading order.
Reconstruct Row and Column Grids
Key features of the text extractor include:
- Heuristic Row Grouping—Groups adjacent characters and words on the same Y-axis line within a 5pt vertical tolerance.
- Left-to-Right Sorting—Arranges columns and text boxes logically from left to right within each row.
- Page Break Markers—Option to insert visual markers separating extracted pages for clean multi-page document parsing.
- Real-Time Stats—Displays total extracted pages, word count, and character counts instantly.
