How to Export PDF Text and Images as a ZIP on iPhone
PDFExtract can share the extracted Markdown on its own or bundle the text and images together into one ZIP archive — so a document's content moves to your notes or teammates in a single handoff.
Steps
- Extract text and/or images from your PDF in PDFExtract.
- Preview the results.
- To send just text, share the Markdown file.
- To send everything, export text and images as a ZIP.
- Hand it off via the share sheet.
Why it works this way
Extracted content is only useful once it reaches its destination intact. Sharing Markdown alone suits dropping text into notes; a ZIP of text plus images keeps a figure-heavy document together so nothing is separated in the handoff. Both go out through the standard share sheet, so the content lands wherever you work.
Tips & edge cases
- ZIP for figure-heavy documents so images travel with the text.
- Markdown alone is lighter when you only need the words.
- Share-sheet export reaches notes apps, Files, and messaging.
