About the PDF to Text Converter
The Abzario PDF-to-text tool automatically covers two cases: if your file already has selectable text, that text is extracted directly; if the file is scanned and image-based, an in-browser OCR engine runs on each page to recognize its text. Either way, the final output is editable text you can copy or download as a TXT file. Before processing starts you can choose the text language among Persian, English, and German to improve OCR accuracy. For multi-page files, a progress bar shows how far along the work is, and each page's text is separated with a page-number heading. If you want to shrink the file or split off some pages before extracting text, the PDF compress, PDF split, and PDF merge tools pair well with this one.

Worked examples
Copying text from a scientific paper's PDF
For a paper with selectable text, each page's text is extracted quickly and separated with a page-number heading, making it easy to copy the section you need.
Reading a scanned Persian contract
If the contract was saved as a scan, selecting Persian runs the OCR engine on each page and delivers editable text.
Extracting German text from a scanned official letter
Choosing German before processing starts noticeably improves the recognition accuracy of German characters and words.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device; everything runs in your browser.
What happens with scanned PDFs?
If no selectable text is found, each page is rendered to an image and OCR runs in the browser.
Which languages are supported?
Persian, English and German. Pick the language before starting.
Why does OCR take a while?
The OCR language data is downloaded once and each page is processed separately; later runs are faster.
How do I know if my file needs OCR?
There's no need to decide manually; the tool first tries reading the file's selectable text and, if it finds none, automatically runs OCR on the pages itself.
Can I fix the extracted text before downloading it?
Yes, the text appears in an editable box, so you can correct any OCR mistakes manually and then copy or download it.
Why does the first OCR run take a bit longer?
The language data OCR needs is downloaded and cached in the browser the first time; choosing the same language again later runs faster.
What happens if a document mixes multiple languages?
OCR accuracy is highest for the language you selected; in mixed-language documents, other-language sections may be recognized less accurately and need manual fixes.
