Parse-only extractor for official Siemens TED product data sheet PDFs. Reads PDF bytes from a Key-Value Store and outputs structured specifications, technical tables, and limit values. No browser, no SiePortal session, no proxy.

Pair with the TED Datasheet Downloader in a two-step pipeline: download TED PDFs first, then parse with this Actor.

For SIOS equipment manuals and certificates, use the Document PDF Parser instead. For combined discover-and-parse of SIOS documents, see the legacy Document PDF Parser discover mode.

When to use this Actor

Use the TED Datasheet Parser when you have TED product datasheet PDFs in Key-Value Store (from the TED Datasheet Downloader) and need structured JSON specs extracted from the PDF content.

Use the Document PDF Parser for SIOS manuals, certificates, and brochures.

Key Features

• Parse-only — No browser; reads PDF bytes directly from Key-Value Store.
• TED datasheet focus — Optimized for compact Industry Mall product data sheet PDFs.
• Specification extraction — Key-value pairs, technical tables, and limit values.
• Wiring diagrams — Optional image extraction from PDF pages to Key-Value Store.
• Parallel processing — Configurable concurrency for bulk parsing runs.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
keyValueStoreId	Required when using items or keyValueStoreKeys. Store ID from the downloader run.	—

keyValueStoreKeys	PDF keys only (alternative to items).	—
extractDiagrams	Save large page images to Key-Value Store.	false
maxConcurrency	Parallel PDF parsers.	3

Input Example

{
  "keyValueStoreId": "YOUR_TED_DOWNLOADER_STORE_ID",
