About PDF Toolkit
PDF Toolkit is an Apify Actor that extracts text, retrieves document metadata, counts PDF pages, and processes multiple PDF files from URLs in bulk, enabling developers, researchers, and AI applications to automate document analysis efficiently through cloud-based workflows.
PDF Toolkit is an API tool available on the Apify marketplace, designed for developers needing to programmatically process PDF files. It allows users to extract text content and key metadata, such as title, author, and page count, from PDFs by providing their URLs. The service is built for automation and can handle bulk processing of multiple documents in one request, returning the extracted information in a structured JSON format. This makes it suitable for data extraction pipelines, content analysis, and feeding information into other systems. As an Apify 'Actor', it operates within the Apify ecosystem, with usage-based pricing. It is a cloud-based tool accessible via API, with no native desktop or mobile applications. Support is provided through the general Apify help channels.
