✅ Key Features of PDF2Text
Why Choose PDF2Text?
Complete Unicode Support
PDF2Text excels in processing PDF files from any part of the world, including those with Asian languages. It supports UTF-8 and UTF-16 text encoding, recognizes vendor-specific Unicode character assignments, and maps them to the public Unicode area. The tool can also break Unicode ligatures and PDF-specific ligatures into individual characters. Characters that cannot be mapped to Unicode are predictably placed in the Private Use Area.
