Pro Tips

For scanned PDFs with images, use OCR-enabled tools first to convert images to selectable text before extraction.

Copy extracted text and paste into a text editor to clean up formatting or remove unwanted line breaks.
Use the search feature to find specific keywords in extracted text before copying or downloading the full content.
