Text Unwrap

Fix prematurely wrapped lines.

Restore documents that were broken by PDF copy-paste or formatted for the wrong page size.

Text Unwrap detects premature line breaks and merges them back into proper paragraphs — the one trick that no text editor, not even Microsoft Word, does well.

What it does

You copy text from a PDF into Word, and every line breaks where the PDF's column ended — not where the sentence did. Or you open an old document formatted for narrow paper on a wide screen, and every paragraph reads like a stack of fragments. Text Unwrap finds those false line breaks and joins them back together.

The detection is heuristic: lines that end mid-sentence, without terminal punctuation, are candidates for merging. Lines that genuinely end a paragraph stay separate.
