About this tool
Why copied text breaks
PDFs store text line by line as it appears on the page, not as flowing paragraphs. When you copy it, every line ends with a hard line break, so pasted text looks chopped up. Emails and old documents can add extra spaces, tabs and empty lines too.
Join broken lines solves the main problem: it reconnects lines within a paragraph while keeping real paragraph breaks, which are marked by a blank line. If you need everything on one line, for example for a spreadsheet cell or a form, choose Remove all line breaks.
