PDF to Text API

Extract clean plain text from any PDF — URL or base64.

Parse PDF documents and extract all readable text content. Accepts a publicly accessible URL or a base64-encoded PDF string. Returns the full text, page count, word count and character count. No OCR — works on text-based PDFs. Ideal for document indexing, content analysis, and LLM pre-processing pipelines.
