PDF to RTF Converter

Kept

• The text as normal editable paragraphs, with bullet and numbered lists and simple tables rebuilt from how they are laid out on the page
• A Rich Text file that almost every word processor opens, including WordPad and very old programs

Good to know

• Only text is taken: images, fonts, colors and the page design do not come over.
• A PDF has no real headings or bold text inside, so everything arrives as regular text.
• Paragraphs, lists and tables are guessed from the layout. Pages with several columns or complex tables can come out mixed up, so check the result.
• Page numbers and headers or footers that repeat on most pages of a longer file are removed.
• A scanned PDF (pages that are pictures of text) has no text to take, so it is refused. There is no OCR.
• For an exact copy of how the PDF looks, convert it to PNG or JPG instead.
• Password-protected PDF files are not supported.
• RTF is an old format: the file is noticeably larger than a DOCX, and newer features are simplified.
• Files up to 300 MB are accepted.
