Exports documents to plain text (.txt) using layout-preserving extraction: words are placed in a character grid that mirrors their spatial position on the page, so columns, indentation, and tabular alignment survive the conversion.

```python

from nutrient_sdk import TextExporter

```

## Construction

```python

TextExporter()

```

Creates a new `TextExporter` instance with default settings.

## Implements

- [`IExporter`](/api/python/interfaces/i-exporter/)
