If you are looking out for a way to extract text from PDF Files in order to use it in other applications, you can try out A-PDF Text Extractor.

A-PDF Text Extractor is a free utility designed to extract text from Adobe PDF files for use in other applications. There are three mode of output text: In PDF Order, Smart Rearrange and With Position.

The program is offered as a freeware which allows you to use it for free for both personal as well as commercial usage.

To extract text from a PDF file, the PDF file must meet the following conditions:

- The file must be formatted to contain text and not just images.

- The file should not contain any security restrictions which disable text selecting. In case if you are dealing with a PDF file which has these restrictions, you can remove the restrictions using the Freeware PDF Password Remover tool, you can read more about it in my earlier article titled [How-To] Open Password Protected PDF with Freeware PDF Unlocker.

While the GUI version of the program is available for free, a command line version of the software is available which allows you to call the same in your program or script. The command line version is available for $35.
