Convert PDF to TXT

Overview

When you need to extract the text content in the PDF file, in order for data analysis, text mining, information retrieval, etc. Using ComPDF Convert SDK, you can easily extract the text in the PDF into the TXT file.

Preserving Table Format

The SDK supports an option called TableFormat that preserves the table format when writing the TXT file, meaning that the original table structure is maintained. It is generally recommended to enable this option, especially for data extraction scenarios.
