Integrate PDFData into your workflows, automate repetitive document processing, and connect it with tools like n8n, Zapier, and Make. Extract structured data from any PDF — invoices, statements, resumes — using just one API.
Manual PDF data entry slows down your operations. Whether it's invoices, receipts, bank statements, or resumes — you can automate it entirely. With PDFData API, you can extract structured data and send it anywhere automatically.
Hours spent copying information from documents line by line.
Manual entry leads to inconsistent data structures and formats.
Image-based and scanned documents require extra effort to extract data.

The PDFData API transforms PDFs into structured data formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel. No templates or training required — simply upload your file, define what to extract, and get clean structured data back.
Extract data from both digital and scanned PDFs.
JSON, CSV, Excel — choose your preferred format.
Define data fields by plain text or JSON schema.
