If you're one of those people who increasingly find files in Adobe's Portable Document Format, or PDFs, a part of your daily life, you know they're good for a lot of things, such as posting documentation like product manuals and warranty information online. Sometimes PDFs can be awkward to use, especially if you need to regularly extract information from them to use in other formats and applications. Software maker Some PDF specializes in PDF conversion utilities that convert and extract various files to and from the PDF format. Their PDF to Txt Converter converts PDFs to text files and vice versa, and does a fine job of it, too. Best of all, Some PDF to Txt converter is free, like its brethren in Some PDF's lineup and unlike Adobe's Acrobat, the big dog in the PDF pound, and with a correspondingly big price tag. Some PDF to Txt Converter handles PDFs created in Adobe programs and other applications, too.

Some PDF's utilities download, install, and open briskly and competently, and they share a familiar interface that is fairly simple but functional. Txt Converter easily extracts text from PDFs and saves it in .txt format. It does its thing quickly, too, meaning it's easy to convert multiple files at once. It will also convert encrypted files, provided you have the password.

Some PDF to Txt Converter is free, but donations of $20 or more to the developer earn you automatic notification of new releases.

DO NOT BUY
dabinnNovember 11, 2014
Pros
Do not buy any software from this company, they will not give you the serial number after you paid, and their support email 'support@somepdf.com' is not reachable.
Cons
Do not buy any software from this company, they will not give you the serial number after you paid, and their support email 'support@somepdf.com' is not reachable.
Summary
Spyware, not a product
livefreeordienhOctober 12, 2013
Pros
None, absolutely none.
Cons
Installs VICIOUS SPYWARE, which disables your web browser. Produces empty text files. Doesn't work, and doesn't even pretend to work.
Summary
Stay away, this product is a complete scam and a joke on the CNET editors who bizarrely give it good reviews. It's a waste of several hours uninstalling and reinstalling software to get rid of the spybots.
Does not work

Gets stuck in 'waiting to convert' or something.

Cannot recommend this product.
Wouldn't work for me

Pros
Quick & easy to install, relatively easy to figure out how to use, though I did check the online instruction page to make sure.
Cons
Set everything up, including Begin & End pages I wanted, but try as I might, nothing would happen when I clicked the Start Convert button.
Summary
Shame, because other reviewers seem to think it's good.
Holy cow, this is good a great piece of freeware!

Pros
Free, it extract text from the pdf file which includes the spaces and formatting. This makes it a breeze to import data into excel through excel's native import text file import. It also does not require registration and it's not a demo. I loved it!
Cons
Screen layout is not the greatest but it gets the job done. Other than that I don't see any whatsoever.
Summary
If you found Adobe's reader text copying utility frustrating then Some PDF to Txt Converter 1.5 is the solution you have been looking for. I imported the text file this program created into excel by selecting the "fixed width" option and every column fell neatly into its corresponding cell. It requires not registration and works right off the bat. This is a great piece of freeware. Thank you!
Worked exactly as advertised.

Pros
When other converters put out nothing, this little gem did exactly as stated. It puts out a clean text file with spaces between table cells. Very nice.
Cons
None seen.
Summary
Great application for ripping out text from PDFs.
Useful tool to have
et_designerNovember 6, 2009
Pros
simple to use intuitive
Cons
can't think of any
Summary
Definitely a useful tool to keep. Mind you it doesn't do OCR so it won't work with pdf files from scanners. But standard pdf (generated from word processors or typesetting software) works just fine.
Simple to use, and it works
Write-OnMarch 8, 2009
Pros
- Easy to install - Easy to use - Very fast - Text output files are accurate - A number of option settings, including configuring output for Windows, Linux, or Mac
Cons
No problems that I can see.
Summary
This is a PDF to plain text converter, which means that the output is intended for NotePad (.txt files), not MS Word (.doc files). Plain text documents do not have fonts, character formats (e.g. underline, bolding), paragraph and page formatting, tables, etc. If you are expecting to have the text formatting preserved, then this converter is not for you. However as a converter to plain text files, it does a wonderful job and that was exactly what I was looking for. The GUI interface is simple, and took no time at all to figure out. I was able to select 10 PDF files ranging from 150 to 250 pages each, and it converted them all in about 2 minutes. I skimmed the text, and it all looked accurately converted. There are a few conversion options - such as including or excluding page break characters - on the right side. It can also generate the output as html files.
converts some pdf files to text

Pros

Cons
when it cannot convert a file, it gives you no clue why it can't and shuts down.
Summary
good but still needs some work.
