SG PDF 2 TXT

Whether you need to modify some personal work or school files, change a contract or an agreement, editing PDF files is inevitable. While some files allow you to make changes directly, others have protection features. To avoid all the hassle related to editing PDF, a simpler solution would be to convert them to TXT files and make all the changes there.

SG PDF 2 TXT is a lightweight utility designed to help you convert PDF files to plain text files and can come in handy in a variety of situations.

The application is portable, so simple download and decompress in the desired location. The GUI is quite minimalistic and consists of a small window where you can add the PDF file you want to process. Unfortunately, the application does not support drag and drop, so you need to use the dedicated button to browse to the location of the file.

The conversion operation is fast and the tool can only process one file at a time. Once completed, you will get a message and the app creates a TXT file in the same location that you can open and start editing.

It is worth mentioning that the tool does not have an extra function that allows you to convert the newly modified TXT to PDF back, so you need to use other third-party tools for this. It would have been nice to include the TXT to PDF conversion, as it would save it when you are modifying a file and need to send or share it back as soon as possible, for instance.

In the eventuality that you need to copy text from a PDF document that has the copy protection enabled, then SG PDF 2 TXT allows you to convert the file so that you can grab the content you need. Overall, it can save you a lot of time and energy in the long run.
