Selecting text in a PDF viewer is fiddly: lines jump, and the selection stops at the edge of a page. Here PDF to text conversion takes the whole file, even 300 pages, and shows the text ready to copy.
A scan or a phone photo saved as PDF is a picture of a page, with no text behind it. There is no OCR here, so the tool marks such pages instead of handing you an empty file. A quick test: if you can’t select a single word in a viewer, it is a scan.
The text comes out in the order the PDF stores it, which is usually the reading order. Pages in two or three columns, tables and text boxes may come out a little mixed up. Check them before you paste.
Open this page in Safari or Chrome and choose the PDF from Files or Downloads. Copy puts the whole text on the clipboard, ready to paste into notes, a chat or an email.
A PDF that asks for a password to open has to be unlocked first with Unlock PDF.
