Extract & Clean Text Elements

I have a source document packed with individual text elements that need to be pulled out, stripped of every bit of styling, and gathered into one clean .txt file. Nothing but the raw words should remain—no fonts, no colours, no hidden characters, no line-break quirks. I will supply the original file as soon as the project starts, and I simply need the returned text in a single plain-text file, ready for further processing on my end.

Scope
• Isolate every text element from the source
• Remove all formatting so the output is true plain text
• Deliver one consolidated .txt file containing the cleaned content

Acceptance
• The file opens in any basic text editor without embedded styling or metadata
• All text from the original is present and in logical reading order
• No duplicate or missing elements

If you have experience with text extraction tools or scripting (Python, Regex, Adobe Acrobat text export, etc.) and can turn this around accurately, let’s get started.
