PDF OCR API

Extract text from PDF files using OCR. Supports scanned documents, images, and multi-page PDFs. Returns structured text with page numbers and confidence scores. Built by John Rippy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnrippy/ | https://johnrippy.link/).

Quick Start

Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)

{
  "demoMode": true,
  "pdfUrl": ""
}

Run with real data

{
  "demoMode": false,
  "pdfUrl": "",
  "language": "eng",
  "outputFormat": "json",
  "detectTables": false
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Required	Description
`pdfUrl`	string	-	No	URL of the PDF file to process
`pdfBase64`	string	-	No	Base64-encoded PDF content (alternative to URL)
`language`	string	`"eng"`	No	Language hint for OCR (improves accuracy)
`pageRange`	string	-	No	Pages to process (e.g., '1-5' or '1,3,5'). Leave empty for all pages.
`outputFormat`	string	`"json"`	No	How to structure the output
`detectTables`	boolean	`false`	No	Attempt to preserve table structure
`demoMode`	boolean	`true`	No	Return sample output without processing (for testing)
`webhookUrl`	string	-	No	Optional URL to receive results via POST request when actor completes

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event billing:

Event	Description	Price
Page Processed	Each PDF page processed with OCR	$0.02

Demo mode is free -- no charges for sample data.

Troubleshooting

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

Invalid input format (check the examples above)
The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
