As suggested by the name Text Mining Tool is freeware that lets you extract text from files. It includes files such as PDF, DOC, RTF, CHM and HTML without even having to open them. If you are in need of extracting text from any of the above file types look no further than Text Mining Tool. Its easy clean and its for free.

Well you can also use freeware such as Open office to edit or copy text from certain file types mentioned above and also many PDF reders will even allow you to select the text directcly from which you can simply copy paste it to a text or wordpad. However if you don’t like to open thses files for some reason and manually do the thigs then look no furteher than Text Mining Tool.
