I guess since ACAD 2018 there is a built-in tool for that, look HERE

See the attachment... just as the example, probably didn't convert it all.

thank you and this command is very useful @ВeekeeCZ

PDFSHXTEXT this command is useful only for individual selection.

If we select whole sheet only 50% is converted successfully, remaining item need to work as individual selection.

Is it possible to convert 100% text format?

Yes. I know. But the tool is quite good, so I can bed with you that I can convert all the texts within 2 mins. So take it or leave it. I can assure you that you won't receive any better tool than this one.

Only thing I would recommend you is to ask in the regular AutoCAD forum if there is some trick to integrate this into the converting process.
