About PDF and Plain Text
PDF (.pdf) is a document format. Converting it to Plain Text (.txt) is useful when you need a format that is more widely supported, easier to edit, or smaller in size. DocumentBuddy runs the conversion server-side using battle-tested open-source tools so the output matches what you would get from a desktop application.
