Extract Text, Images, Comments, and Metadata from Any PDF File
Fetch precisely what you require from a PDF file, be it the text, the pictures included in the document, the notes made during the examination, or the document's properties.

At the same time, password-protected PDFs are processed without changing the tools, which saves time as it kills the need to unlock the document.
