Extract text from PDF — local & free

Krymp extracts text from a PDF using pdf.js — the same library that powers many native PDF readers. Drop the file, pick "Plain text", and download a .txt with every word in reading order. Works for digitally-created PDFs; scanned PDFs need OCR (use a tool like Tesseract first).
