Why did you make it?

I use ChatGPT a lot. And I intereact with PDFs a lot. Often, PDFs aren't easy to copy-paste text from. If the text layer is available, most of the time it isn't formatted the same way it would be written on a normal .txt file. I wanted a way to quickly extract text from a PDF with a text layer into a text file that preserved the layout so it would be comprehensible by a chatbot.
