Batch Convert PDF to TXT win2pdf-pro-feature

 

To batch convert from PDF to Text, open the Win2PDF Desktop "Batch Convert" window and set the "Convert To Format" to either "Text - Formatted", "Text - Unformatted", "Text with OCR - Formatted", or "Text with OCR - Unformatted".  The "OCR" formats attempt to make non-searchable sections of the PDF searchable using optical character recognition (OCR) before converting to text, and requires the "Win2PDF OCR Add-on" from:

The "OCR" formats are much slower, and should only be used for PDF files that contain unsearchable text.

Set the "Convert Files From" location to the folder containing the PDF files to convert, and set the "Save To" folder to the location for the converted text files.  These locations must be different.

 

Click the "Convert" button to start the conversion process.  Depending on the number of files in the "Convert Files From" folder, it can take a long time to convert all files.  The "Cancel" button remains active during the conversion process, and allows you to cancel the batch convert.
