PDF Text & Markdown Extractor

About this pdf text & markdown extractor

Extract embedded PDF text to TXT or Markdown locally, with optional repeated header/footer removal and horizontal row or two-column reading order. Review heuristic results Parses and structures office document payloads locally in memory without transmitting private company files to external servers.

Document parsing & data extraction pipeline

The execution engine processes input tokens and applies transformations in the browser sandbox. Specifically, Extract embedded PDF text locally to UTF-8 TXT or Markdown. Keep PDF source order by default, or choose horizontal row order or left-column-first two-column order. Optionally remove repeated header/footer lines and apply 0–40% top/bottom baseline filtering. Markdown wraps each page in a heading and literal text block; TXT uses localized page markers. Copy the full selected TXT or Markdown result, including text beyond the preview.

File size & structure constraints

Operational constraints and validation boundaries: No OCR. Automatic repeated-edge removal and manual margin filtering are off by default; both can remove body text near page edges. Manual margins use text baselines and retain items without usable coordinates. Line and paragraph gaps are heuristic. Unsupported geometric layouts keep source order and show a page count; tables, complex layouts and paragraph structure are not reconstructed. Preview: 20,000 characters; downloads contain all extracted text. Password-protected PDFs need an unlocked copy. Files must be smaller than 100,000,000 bytes; browser memory may impose a lower limit. Optional heuristics for horizontal left-to-right text. Repeated edge lines must occur in the top or bottom 10% on at least two pages and at least 60% of nonblank pages. Standalone Arabic page numbers (including “Page N” and “N / M”) are matched across pages; unique edge text remains. Two-column order splits at the page midpoint and reads each left column before its right column; lines crossing the midpoint separate sections. Missing coordinates or widths, rotated text and right-to-left text keep the whole page in source order. Review the result: repeated body text near an edge can be removed, and tables or more complex layouts are not reconstructed. Markdown uses one level-two heading per page and a literal text code block. Backtick fences expand to preserve source punctuation, links and HTML as text. It does not infer headings, lists, tables or styles from PDF layout. Copying requires browser clipboard support and permission. If it fails, download the full result instead.
