PDF to *

[Jon1Games]

What type of request is this?

New tool idea

Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

A tool(s) to convert from PDF to docs, PNG, MD, and more.

Is their example of this tool in the wild?

Additional context

Cannot really confirm that "Check that the feature can be implemented in a client-side only app (IT-Tools is client-side only, no server)." But I think it should be possible.

Validations

• Check the feature is not already implemented in the project.
• Check that there isn't already an issue that request the same feature to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Check that the feature can be implemented in a client side only app (IT-Tools is client side only, no server).

Hi @Jon1Games , on client side only:

• pdf to raw txt
• pdf to ocr txt
• pdf to image of pages

But probably not more structured

Okay, it would also be a great addition, though.

Free and Open-Source software doing exactly this already exists (https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF among others). I don't think doing it client-side would be easy (and I don't think IT-Tools should implement complex file conversion like this)
