PDF to Text Converter
How to use:
- Open the file in a browser.
- Click “Choose File” and pick any PDF (≤ 100 MB recommended for smooth experience).

- When finished, the recognized text appears in the textarea. You can edit it directly.
- Click “Download as .txt” or “Download as Searchable PDF” to save the result.
Key points:
• 100 % client-side: no uploads, no servers, no privacy concerns.
• Uses the latest stable versions of pdf.js and Tesseract.js (as of July 2025).
• Handles multi-page PDFs, shows per-page progress, and includes robust error handling.
• Responsive layout works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
• The “Searchable PDF” option embeds the OCR text as an invisible layer, so the file remains visually identical but becomes fully searchable
