PDF2Text is a Free tool to Convert PDFs to Text

The PDF2Text Converter download contains an application that converts PDF files into a text file, keeping the PDF's format.

I recently needed to be able to convert several PDF files over a few weeks of time into a text file. I needed the text file to stay in the same format as the PDF. It was being imported by an application that needed it to be in that format.

I tried the Microsoft conversion tools, and the Adobe suite, but they both mangled up the format of the file. I looked around for an open source options but could not find one.

So I built this one. Just drag the PDF onto the surface of the application.
