About the PDF format
PDF is the universal document format: it looks identical on every device, cannot be changed accidentally and is the accepted standard for applications, invoices, contracts and official paperwork.
Why convert to Text?
TXT is plain text without any formatting. It opens in every editor on every system and is perfect for copying content into other tools. Extracting plain text lets you search, quote and process document content anywhere.
