How Do You Convert PDF Files To Text?

0

A PDF file is “portable,” meaning you can transmit and view it easily, whether it is sent to you via email or downloaded from a website. The words and images stay in place no matter how you send the file. You may have a situation where you need to convert your PDF file to text so you can work with the words only. For example, if you want to send the contents of the PDF to someone via email without adding an attachment, you need the file in text format. There are two very simple ways to do this. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader. Click “Tools” on the main menu, then “Select & Zoom.” Choose the “Select Tool” (if it is not already automatically selected). Position your cursor in front of the first word of the text in your PDF document. Left-click and hold the mouse, then drag it over the text. Copy the text (CTRL + C) and paste it (CTRL + V) into your Notepad or Wordpad program (these are usually located under the “Accessories” folder on your Start menu). Save the new text file. Upload yo
