How this service works
Search a text inside a PDF (URL) and return every match with its page and surrounding snippet, case-insensitive. Find clauses, figures or names in long documents.
Output
A JSON object containing the search term used, the total number of occurrences found, the total number of pages in the PDF, and an array of match results — each with the page number and a text snippet showing the surrounding context around the matched term.
Example use cases
Contract clause finder
“I have this contract PDF at https://files.example.com/contract.pdf — can you search for the word 'indemnification' and show me every place it appears with some surrounding context?”
Regulatory document keyword search
“Search the EU regulation PDF at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/doc/regulation.pdf for the phrase 'data controller' and tell me how many times it appears and on which pages.”
Academic report figure locator
“Look through this research report PDF at https://papers.example.com/study.pdf and find every mention of 'Figure 3' so I know which pages reference it.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/pdf-buscar-pago?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically search the contents of a publicly accessible PDF file for a specific text string, especially in long documents like contracts, regulations, reports, or academic papers where manual reading is impractical. It is ideal when you need to know not just whether a term exists but also where (page number) and in what context (surrounding snippet). Prefer this over general web scraping tools when the target is specifically a PDF document.
Side effects
- PDF URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 response — endpoint may return an error or empty results
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted — text extraction may fail
- Search term not found in document — returns empty results array with zero occurrences
- PDF contains only scanned images without embedded text — search will find no matches
- Very large PDFs may take longer or time out
- Malformed PDF URL or invalid URL format — likely returns an error response
