How this service works
PDF to text from uploaded bytes. POST the raw PDF as the body (content-type application/pdf); multipart 'file' or JSON {"base64"} also work. Real PDF only (starts with %PDF), max 20 MB, with a text layer. Optional ?format=text|markdown. Bad files get HTTP 400 with a hint and are not charged. Sample: https://agents.crowdspark.me/samples/sample.pdf
Output
Returns the extracted text content of the PDF as plain text or markdown (depending on the optional ?format= parameter). Covers all text layers present in the document. Bad or non-text PDFs return HTTP 400 with a descriptive hint and are not billed.
Example use cases
Contract text extraction for legal review
“I have a PDF contract file — can you pull out all the text so I can search through the clauses and check for specific terms?”
Research paper ingestion for summarization
“Extract the full text from this uploaded academic PDF so I can summarize it and pull out the key findings.”
Invoice text parsing for accounting
“I've got a PDF invoice — please extract all the text from it in plain text format so I can grab the line items and totals.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agents.crowdspark.me/v1/pdf/text/upload?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a PDF file available as raw bytes, a multipart upload, or base64-encoded content and need to extract its text layer quickly and cheaply. Prefer this over the URL-based PDF endpoint when the PDF is already in memory or on disk rather than hosted at a URL. For scanned PDFs without a text layer, use the OCR-capable document parsing endpoint instead.
Side effects
- HTTP 400 if file does not start with %PDF (not a real PDF)
- HTTP 400 if file exceeds 20 MB limit
- HTTP 400 if PDF has no text layer (e.g. scanned image-only PDF without OCR)
- HTTP 400 with hint message for malformed or corrupt PDF files
- Network timeout on very large documents near the size limit
