About
Use this text tool to remove all existing line breaks or replace them with a different character. You can also remove a single line using the "remove one" option.
Remove One
Removes the last occurrence of a line feed that is followed by any character other than \n. This is useful if you have a double-spaced text document that you want to convert into single-spaced.

FAQ
Will it restore a copied PDF perfectly?
No. Hyphenated word fragments, columns, and paragraph boundaries still need manual review.
A practical task
Inspect a copied paragraph before joining all its lines. If a PDF broke a word across lines, adding a space can leave two fragments, while deleting every break can join ordinary neighboring words. Treat those cases separately.
Another useful question
How do I turn a list into a comma list?
Choose replacement and enter the desired separator. Check existing punctuation so you do not create doubled commas or unintended empty entries.
Details for interpreting the result
| Detail | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Line endings | A line break can use LF or CRLF. They look similar in an editor but contain different characters. Byte comparisons and checksums depend on the exact representation, including a final line break. |
| Paragraphs and lines | A manual line break and a paragraph boundary serve different purposes. Export tools can map them differently. Inspect lists, addresses, and intentional blank lines rather than treating every visible break as interchangeable. |
