PASTELINT PDF CLEANUP

Fix text copied from PDF

Remove broken line breaks, spacing issues, and messy formatting from PDF text before reusing it in email, documents, IVR scripts, websites, or text to speech tools.

Before and after

PDF paste cleanup

PDF paste repair checks

Copied PDF text often breaks because visual lines become hard line breaks.

Broken line wraps Rejoins lines that were split by PDF columns, margins, or page width.
Paragraph breaks Keeps paragraph intent instead of flattening everything into one unreadable block.
Hidden spacing Removes copied spacing artifacts that make pasted text harder to edit.
Header and footer debris Helps surface repeated page text that should be removed before reuse.
Report cleanup Makes copied research notes, reports, and articles easier to read or summarize.
Next-step rewrite Send cleaned PDF text to SecondDraft when it needs a clearer version.
