How to remove broken line breaks from PDF text
Text copied from a PDF can break in the middle of sentences. This tool joins those lines so the text is easier to use.

Paste it above
Keep the default options for most documents, or turn off a repair you do not need.

We try to keep real dashes, lists, and headings. Text copied from tables or pages with several columns may still need a few fixes.
Common questions
PDF text cleaner FAQ
Does this tool open or edit PDF files?
No. Copy the text from your PDF, then paste that text into the cleaner. The PDF file itself is never uploaded or changed.
How does it fix broken line breaks?
It joins single line breaks that usually come from PDF page formatting while preserving blank-line paragraph breaks, list items, and likely headings.
Will it preserve lists and headings?
It preserves common bullets, numbered lists, headings written in capital letters, short headings with important words capitalized, and labels ending in a colon. Always review text copied from pages with several columns.
Is pasted text saved or uploaded?
Pasted text is never uploaded. Nothing is saved by default. Turn on Save on this device to keep the text here, or download a backup file.
Can I download the result?
Yes. Use Download .txt for a plain-text file, or copy the result directly to your clipboard.
