Create an Editable Rich Text Document From PDF

RTF is an editable text format supported by many word processors. This converter extracts text from selected PDF pages and writes it into an RTF document.

Pages without usable embedded text can use OCR fallback.

RTF Is Better for Text Than Page Reproduction

PDF and RTF represent documents differently. The conversion is intended to make text reusable rather than reproduce every detail of the PDF page.

Tables, columns, graphics, fonts and precise positioning may change or require manual reconstruction.

Scans Depend on OCR

For scanned pages, recognition depends on image quality and the selected language. Blurred text, skewed pages and unusual characters can reduce accuracy.

Check the Result in Your Word Processor

Review headings, paragraph breaks, special characters, numbers and other important information before using the RTF as a finished document.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The current conversion extracts document text into RTF rather than recreating the fixed PDF layout.
