Questions
What does PDF to RTF do?
It pulls selectable text from PDF pages and wraps it as a Rich Text (.rtf) file you can open in Word or similar editors.
Is PDF formatting preserved?
No. Only text content is exported. Columns, images, fonts, and layout from the PDF are not kept in the RTF.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. Switch to Selected, click thumbnails or enter a range like 1-3,5, then download.
Will scanned PDFs work?
Only if the PDF already has selectable text. Image-only scans export empty unless you OCR them first.
