Frequently asked questions

Paste the PDF’s URL into the task and run it. The output keeps headings, lists and tables as Markdown text.

Yes. Every Apify task can be called through the REST API, a Python or JavaScript client, or a no-code tool like Make or Zapier, and the result comes back right away.

It works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned image-only PDFs contain no text layer, so they need OCR first.

Yes. Markdown is compact and keeps the document’s structure, so it’s a common input format for ChatGPT, Claude, LangChain and vector databases.

No. The PDF only needs to be reachable through a public URL.
