Can this extract text from a scanned PDF?

Only if the PDF already contains a text layer. For page images, use OCR PDF.

Will tables keep their exact columns?

Not always. PDF stores positioned text fragments, so complex tables may require cleanup.

No. Your files never leave your device. Processing happens privately in your browser.

Pull selectable text from PDF pages into a plain text file.

What you provide: A PDF containing selectable text and optional page selection.
What AG File Tools returns: Plain UTF-8 text extracted from the selected pages.
Practical limit: Reading order in multi-column or highly designed PDFs can differ from the visual layout. Scanned PDFs need OCR instead.
