The moments when retyping is not an option.

"Finally, just the words."
I pull text from research PDFs every week. This is the only one that gives me clean text in the right reading order — no jumbled columns. Saves me 20 minutes per file.
"Pasted straight into my notes."
I had 30 PDFs to pull quotes from for a report. Extracted the text from all of them in 10 minutes, pasted into my notes. Used to take 3 hours of retyping.
"OCR nailed the scan."
I had a scanned PDF — just images of text. The OCR pulled every word out accurately, even the footnotes. Dropped it straight into my doc. Just works.
