How this service works
PDF to text API: fetches any public PDF URL and returns its full plain text, fast, with layout preserved. For scanned PDFs needing OCR see /pdf-to-markdown. 25MB / ~100 page cap. Nothing stored.
Output
Full plain text of the PDF document with layout preserved, extracted from the provided public URL. No data is stored server-side. Covers PDFs up to 25MB or approximately 100 pages.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you pull all the text out of this PDF for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/report.pdf — I need the plain text with the layout kept intact.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/pdf-to-textWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a public URL to a native (non-scanned) PDF and need its plain text quickly. Prefer this over /pdf-to-markdown when OCR is not needed and speed matters. Choose this over general-purpose scraping tools when the target is specifically a PDF document and layout-aware text extraction is important.
Side effects
- PDF URL is not publicly accessible or returns a 403/404 — request fails
- PDF exceeds 25MB or ~100 pages — request rejected with size/page limit error
- PDF is scanned/image-based and requires OCR — text extraction will be poor or empty (use /pdf-to-markdown for OCR)
- URL does not point to a valid PDF file — parsing error returned
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF — request fails
