Publisher's description of PDF Plain Text Extractor

From Retsina Software Solutions:

PDF Plain Text Extractor (P2T) is a handy tool for converting PDF files to text files. It supports English, some European languages, simple and traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. You don't need any products from Adobe (neither Acrobat Reader nor Acrobat) or any third-party software installed on your computer. P2T focus on text extraction from PDF files. It analyzes the raw PDF file directly and extracts plain text from it. The layout is maintained as much as possible. P2T has a handy graphical user interface and an easy-to-use converting-list-management system. P2T supports batch mode and can convert different PDF files from different locations on your system with a single click.

Editor's review of PDF Plain Text Extractor

3.0 stars
""

This utility takes text from PDF files and saves it in TXT files, letting you choose page ranges for conversion. PDF Plain Text Extractor also can automatically insert page breaks and authoring information. The interface is straightforward, but you can't preview documents within the program. To make up for this, you can convert multiple documents at once. The conversion process runs quickly, but we weren't impressed by the output. In our tests, the text formatting was poor, some characters wouldn't convert, and PDF Plain Text Extractor is not able to save out images. It integrates with Windows Explorer, letting you right-click and convert documents without opening the program, but we would like to see command-line functionality so it can be used as part of an automated conversion process. PDF Plain Text Extractor handles the very basic task of producing text from PDF files, but not much else.

Version: PDF Plain Text Extractor 4.3 build 4343

"I don't know if the software worked!"

by cjacobsbb on August 7, 2007

Cons: The slimmed down version put so many extra charectors in I couldn't tell if the product worked.
