Bulk PDF to Text from a List of URLs

Paste a list of PDF links and get the plain text of every document in one dataset, in reading order, with title, author, page count and creation date. Scanned pages are read with OCR, failed links get a clear error and cost nothing, and duplicate URLs are processed once. Choose a page range to keep runs small. Export to CSV, JSON or Excel.
