Fix line breaks in text copied from a PDF

Copy selectable text from a PDF and paste it above. The cleaner fixes extra spaces and common ligatures. It suggests possible line joins, split words, page numbers and repeated lines, but leaves those unchanged until you choose an edit.

This tool does not open PDF files or read scanned pages. If the text cannot be selected in the PDF, extract it with OCR first.

Example: a copied sentence split across two lines can be joined after you review the suggestion. For evidence- followed by based on the next line, keep the hyphen when the original word is evidence-based. Copy the cleaned result only after checking the edits.

Common questions

How do I remove line breaks from PDF text?

Copy selectable text from your PDF and paste it into the cleaner. Review each possible line wrap, then apply the suggested join. Paragraph breaks are not all removed automatically.

Can I remove hyphens from copied PDF text?

Review each split-word suggestion. Join a word split by the PDF layout, but keep a meaningful hyphen in words such as evidence-based. Compare with the original PDF before copying.

Does this tool clean scanned PDF files?

No. It works on pasted text, not PDF uploads or scanned images. Use OCR first if the PDF has no selectable text.
