When plain text is the right output
Plain text strips formatting entirely, no fonts, no layout, no images. Convert to TXT when you need to pipe content into a script or CSV import, or when a legal / archival requirement specifies "no formatting". Also the right choice for extracting the substantive content from a PDF for OCR post-processing or text-analysis workflows.
