PDF to Text for e-commerce sellers
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets e-commerce and retail sellers extract text from a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Converting PDF to text extracts the raw words into a plain .txt file, OCRing scans first, so you can reuse the content anywhere.
Why e-commerce sellers extract text from a PDF
A seller merges a month of invoices into one file for the accountant, converts a supplier's PDF price list to Excel, and compresses the product catalogue for a marketplace upload.
Built for invoices. Whether it's invoices, packing slips, catalogues, Arthize's pdf to text keeps the work inside your private workspace. Order and customer data is confidential; private processing avoids leaking it to a free tool.
What matters when you extract text from a PDF
Text extraction gives you the raw words without layout.
Scanned PDFs are OCR'd first so the text comes through.
It is the quickest way to reuse PDF content in another tool.
