About the PDF to JSON

Extract the content of a PDF into structured JSON for use in code.

How to use the PDF to JSON

  1. Upload your PDF file, or click Try Sample Document to see how it works.
  2. Press Convert Now to create the JSON output.
  3. Review the result and download or copy it.

Tips

  • Validate the output with the JSON Parser before using it in an app.
  • Very large PDFs take longer. Split them first if a file is slow.
  • Complex layouts (columns, tables, unusual fonts) may not convert perfectly. Check the output before you use it.

Frequently asked questions

What does the JSON contain?
The text content of the PDF organised by page.
Are scanned PDFs supported?
A scanned PDF is a picture of a page rather than real text, so the text cannot be extracted without OCR.
