What you get and what you don't. You get the words, cleaned up: paragraphs that the page broke across lines are rejoined, words hyphenated at a line end are put back together, and running headers, footers and page numbers are dropped. You don't get the design — fonts, colours, images and table grids are gone, because plain text has no way to hold them. Two-column pages are the one real limitation: the text of both columns is read down the page, so it interleaves. If you need the layout back so you can edit the document, use PDF to Word Cyborg. And a scanned PDF is a picture of a page, not text — there is nothing to pull out, and the conversion says so instead of handing you a blank file. Your download link stays live for 60 minutes.
Because dragging across a PDF picks up the page numbers, stops at the bottom of every page, and leaves you with a line break every sixty characters.
Four hundred pages come out in one file. No scrolling, no per-page selection, no page limit.
Lines the page broke mid-sentence are joined back up, and hyphenated words are made whole — so the text is ready to paste.
Running headers, footers and page numbers are recognised by their repetition and left out of the file.
A 24-hour day pass costs €1. No subscription, no auto-renewal — decide later.

Copying by hand works for a paragraph and falls apart on a report: every page break becomes a gap, every wrapped line becomes its own line, and half an hour later you're still deleting running headers. Free converters will do a few pages and then want an email address — for a document you'd rather not hand over in the first place. Extract Text PDF Cyborg is a drop box and a Download button, paid for by the €1 that got you in, so nothing has to be paid for with your documents.
A short walkthrough: drop the PDF, download the text, search it in seconds.
