A couple of months ago I wrote about an online service for converting text files to PDF . And the other day I came across another site that does the opposite - converting documents from PDF format to plain text. The circle is closed.
The developers shopify website design of PDFTextOnline (that's the name of the site) claim that their brainchild is much more convenient than other similar services (for example, from Adobe) and copes better with complex formatting and multilingual texts.
Some of the features of PDFTextOnline:
— Fast and accurate PDF to text conversion.
— Works with all fonts and languages (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.).
— Direct access to form data, document properties, and bookmarks.
— No software installation required — it works in your browser.
— It's free.
How PDFTextOnline works:
1. Go to the main page of PDFTextOnline . Click on the item “ Start Now ” (at the very top of the page).
2. On the next page, scroll through the license text (you can even read it), check the box next to “ I agree… ” and click the “ Continue ” button.
3. On the next page, click on the “ Select PDF Document ” button, find and select the PDF file and (after switching to the browser) click the “ Start! ” button.
4. The file conversion time depends on the size of the document. Once the process is complete, the result can be seen in the browser window. Using the arrows (in the upper right corner of the page), you can navigate between pages.
You can download the text file by clicking on the “ Save All Text ” button. You can view the form data and properties of the source file by clicking on the corresponding tab.
Sorry for writing (again) in the comments, but I haven't found the right free program yet.
I need a program like Acdsee. For batch resizing of images and format conversion.
All the programs I've encountered (gimp, IrfanView, XnView, etc.) kill the image when changing the size, make it worse.
And converting from bmp to jpg gives either blurriness or colored dots all over the frame.
