What it does
PDF.co provides a REST API for PDF conversion, editing, extraction, and management. It also offers document classification, invoice parsing, and integrations with automation platforms.
For CSV extraction, provide a PDF URL or upload a file, choose zero-based page ranges and OCR/column settings, then convert with an account API key. An asynchronous job must finish before its result is downloaded. Generated output links default to 60 minutes and expire from temporary storage; the maximum duration depends on the plan. Budget for the whole workflow: separate uploads and job-status checks can add credits beyond conversion. The advertised one-month trial includes 10,000 credits, rather than 10,000 documents.
Strengths
- Combines conversion and document routing with structured-data extraction.
Watch out for
- Uploads, conversion and asynchronous status checks can consume separate credits; temporary results must be retrieved before expiry.
Best for
- Automating recurring PDF and invoice-processing tasks
