Personally I really found this tool very helpful for myself as it works efficiently while preserving the format of the original file, and it stores the extracted text file in .txt format which is easy to open and edit. The best part is that there are no file size limitations.

I needed to pull out some text from hundreds of PDF files as I find that manually going through each file one at a time was taking a lot of time so I tried this app as one of my college suggested me and to my amazement it performed incredibly well and produced the results in just a few minutes without sacrificing the quality of the images. I loved working with this tool!

Instead I tried the free demo version which allowed me to explore its features and then I paid for the full version which fulfills its promises and is a pleasure to use.
