Frequently Asked Questions
Our converter can extract text content, document metadata, page information, and basic formatting from most PDF documents. It works best with text-based PDFs and can handle multi-page documents, forms, and reports. Image-only PDFs or scanned documents may have limited text extraction capabilities.
The JSON output includes document metadata (title, author, creation date, page count), extracted text content organized by pages, formatting information, and file properties. You can customize what elements to include using the extraction options.
Yes, all PDF processing is done securely on our servers. Your files are processed temporarily and are not stored permanently. The conversion happens in real-time, and your original PDF and converted data remain private throughout the process.
Both formats contain the same data but with different syntax. JSON is more compact and widely used for web APIs and programming, while YAML is more human-readable with cleaner formatting. Choose JSON for technical integrations and YAML for configuration files or human review.
For optimal performance, we recommend PDF files under 10MB. Larger files may take longer to process but are generally supported. Very large documents with hundreds of pages may require additional processing time for complete text extraction and JSON generation.
