About PDF and TXT
Key things to know before you convert PDF to TXT:
PDF
PDF is the universal document format: it locks in the exact layout on every device and prints identically everywhere. Turning an image into a PDF makes it easy to share, archive or print as a document rather than a raw photo.
TXT
TXT is the simplest file format — plain text with no formatting, no fonts, no metadata. Opens on every device and in every program. Perfect for extracting readable content from documents.
