How this service works
Fetch a PDF (by URL, SSRF-guarded) or accept it as base64 and extract all readable text with page count. Deterministic parsing — no language model, so nothing is invented. Text-based PDFs only; scanned images need OCR (not included). Use this when an agent needs to extract readable text from any PDF — agents can't read PDFs.
Output
Returns all extracted plain text from the PDF along with the total page count. Output is deterministic — no language model is involved, so only text actually present in the PDF is returned. Works on text-based PDFs only; scanned image PDFs require OCR which this endpoint does not provide.
Example use cases
Research paper content extraction
“I found this academic paper as a PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.00000.pdf — can you pull out all the text so I can read and summarize it?”
Contract text retrieval
“I need to read through a contract that's only available as a PDF. Here's the URL: https://legal.example.com/contract.pdf — can you extract all the text from it?”
Base64 PDF parsing
“I have a PDF encoded in base64 that I received from an API. Can you convert it to readable text? Here's the base64 content: JVBERi0xLjQK...”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agenttools-hub.vercel.app/api/v1/dev/pdf-to-text?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to read the contents of a text-based PDF — either by URL or as base64 — and requires deterministic, faithful extraction with no hallucination risk. Prefer this over LLM-based PDF tools when accuracy and verbatim reproduction are critical. Not suitable for scanned/image PDFs that require OCR.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns non-PDF content
- PDF is a scanned image (no embedded text layer) — returns empty or minimal text
- SSRF guard blocks internal/private IP URLs
- base64 input is malformed or not a valid PDF
- maxChars limit truncates output unexpectedly
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted
