Feed PDF content into your own code without writing a parser. The JSON output includes document metadata, page sizes, and text at the level you need – semantic blocks, lines with bounding boxes, or every text item with font and position – plus any tables PDF Converter detects.

How to convert PDF to JSON

  1. Add a PDF.
  2. Choose the level of detail.
  3. Convert and download the JSON file.

Good to know

  • Coordinates are in PDF points (1/72 inch) with the origin at the top-left of the page, which is what most developers expect.
  • Need only the tables? Extract Tables or PDF to CSV give you just the tabular data.
