PDFs do not offer the option to modify text content. We need to convert PDF to text for further editing. It‘s not a hard work to find a PDF to text converting tool. But something reflects their great differences in output quality. For example, multi-column layout. Multi-column text is useful and needful. The shorter line lengths of columns are easier to read than lengths of full-page line. Multi-column format of publications presents articles in a more scannable and attractive way for eyes. Unfortunately, for many PDF2Text converters, they can handle single-column text but fails in dealing with multi-column ones. A file conversion without keeping text layout does not live up to our expectations. This is why I would like to introduce you PDFtoTXT Converter.
