How this service works
Bank statement extraction for agents: transactions and underwriting metrics from bank-statement PDFs, plus invoice/receipt/W-9 extraction. Paid per call with x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the full extracted text, total page count, word count, output format used, extraction method (text_layer or OCR), and an array of per-page objects each containing character count and method used. For markdown format, headings, bullet points, and table rows are preserved.
Example use cases
RAG pipeline document ingestion
“I have a PDF at https://docs.mycompany.com/policy-manual.pdf — can you pull out all the text page by page in markdown format so I can index it into my vector database?”
Scanned invoice text extraction
“I've got a scanned invoice as a base64 PDF that needs OCR — can you extract the text from it so I can parse the line items and totals?”
Research paper ingestion for AI
“Please convert this academic paper PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.00001.pdf into plain text, preserving reading order, so my agent can summarize the key findings.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://falcon-docs.falcon-sol.workers.dev/v1/pdf-text?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need fast, low-cost PDF text extraction for AI pipelines — especially when you need per-page text in reading order, automatic OCR fallback for scanned pages, or markdown output with structure preserved. Ideal for RAG document ingestion workflows where cost per document matters ($0.0025 USDC). Prefer over generic document parsers when you need both text-layer and OCR in a single call without managing infrastructure.
Side effects
- PDF exceeds 60 pages or 4 MB size limit — request rejected
- Invalid or inaccessible URL — returns error if PDF cannot be fetched
- Corrupt or password-protected PDF — extraction fails or returns empty
- Completely blank PDF returns empty result (not charged)
- base64 encoding errors cause parse failure
- Network timeout if remote PDF URL is slow to respond
