PDF Text Extraction

Similar to Optical Character Recognition (OCR), PDF Text Extraction offers the ideal way of retrieving text from within document files to support the discovery of your materials, such as PDF journals and magazines, by making the typed text within them searchable.


With born-digital material, the original text is stored within the PDF document itself. Text extraction simply draws on this, which means 100% quality results, unlike other data capture services that can struggle with tricky or faded text. Simply identify a PDF file that you would like to perform PDF Text Extraction on and then select the ‘process’ button.
