Ease PDF to Text Extractor is a free utility which can convert your PDF files to simple text format. It extracts all the texts from the PDF format and the conversion is also pretty fast. It does not require you to have Adobe Reader installed for converting to plain text. Another good feature of this tool is that you can convert multiple PDF files at the same time.
The Interface is very simple, add all the PDF files into the utility, but drag and drop feature is not available. Once the files are added, click the convert button and the files are generated within seconds. You can also change the output directory at the bottom.
This utility cannot convert PDF into Text if the text is available in image format in the PDF file or the text is a scanned image. Although the conversion is not perfect, but its worth trying if you want to get the text out of PDF files.
