Automator is a built-in Mac utility found in Mac 10.4+ and can be used to convert a PDF file to text format.

Below is the process of converting a PDF file to text format.

  1. Launch Finder -> Applications -> and double-click on the Automator application to open.
  2. Choose the option ''Workflow".
  3. Drag the PDF you want to convert to text in the Automator interface.
  4. Use the search bar and type "text" for a quick search and select "Extract PDF Text" option.
  5. Hit the "Play" button to initiate the process.

Once the process is finished, a text file is generated containing all the PDF's text-based information.

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari. See what else is coming to your iPhone with the iOS 18.4 update.
