Structured PDF Extractor

Recover reading order, headings, lists, page references, and coordinates from selectable-text PDFs.

Everything runs locally in your browser. JSON coordinates use PDF points in [left, bottom, right, top] order.

When this tool helps

Use this when you need reusable content from a digital PDF without retyping it. The extractor uses text positions and font information to produce a more useful reading order than a simple copy-and-paste.

How to get a good result

  1. Choose a PDF file.
  2. Choose plain text, Markdown, or JSON output.
  3. Click analyze and let the browser inspect each page.
  4. Review, copy, or download the structured result.

If the result is empty, the PDF may be a scanned image. In that case you need OCR software instead of a text extractor.

Privacy and limits

The selected PDF is read in the browser with PDF.js. FileTiny does not require an upload account for this text extraction workflow.

Column order and basic headings are inferred from layout. Complex tables, formulas, scans, and unusual typography may still need a full OCR or document-AI workflow.
