PDF to JSON

Export PDF Structure as JSON

Parse a PDF locally and download a JSON file with document metadata, page sizes, and every text item with coordinates. Developers use this for search indexing, analytics pipelines, chatbots that need citations, or debugging why a layout looks wrong.

JSON Shape

Each file includes fileName, pageCount, metadata (title, author, subject, creator, producer, dates), pages with width and height, and an items array of text, x, y, fontSize, and width values. An extractedAt ISO timestamp records when the export was built.

Good Fit / Poor Fit

• Good: machine-readable dumps, testing extraction scripts, counting text spans per page.
• Poor: scanned image PDFs without text layers, or documents that need perfect visual reproduction.

For thumbnails or social images, use PDF to Images. To inspect page counts before parsing, open the PDF Page Counter.
