Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Siemens Document PDF Parser — Specs JSON > **Crawloop Siemens Automation Suite** — Structured data extraction for Siemens SiePortal (Industry Mall), SIOS, and TED product datasheets.

Use at your own risk. Parse Siemens PDF documents from SIOS and SiePortal — equipment manuals, certificates, brochures, and other attachments — into structured JSON. Extracts specification key-value pairs, technical tables, limit values, and optional wiring diagrams **from the PDF file itself**, not from the SiePortal web page. **Recommended workflow:** Run the [Document Downloader](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-document-downloader?fpr=guboir) first to save PDFs to Key-Value Store, then pass `keyValueStoreId` and `items` to this Actor for parse-only extraction (no browser, lower cost). For compact TED product datasheets from Industry Mall, use the [TED Datasheet Parser](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-datasheet-pdf-crawler?fpr=guboir) instead. ### When to use this Actor Use the **Document PDF Parser** when you have Siemens SIOS PDFs (manuals, certificates, brochures) and need structured specifications, tables, and limit values in JSON. Use the [TED Datasheet Parser](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-datasheet-pdf-crawler?fpr=guboir) for official TED catalog datasheet PDFs. Use the [SiePortal Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-scraper?fpr=guboir) for web PDP specifications without PDF parsing. ### Siemens Automation Pipeline ```` Phase 1 — Discover MPNs Phase 2 — Screen & enrich Phase 3 — Documents & specs ───────────────────────── ───────────────────────── ───────────────────────────── Catalog Crawler ──┐ ├──► MPN list ──► Lifecycle Tracker ──► SiePortal Scraper Category Scraper ──┘ │ │ ┌────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┐ │ │ ▼ ▼ Document Downloader (SIOS) TED Datasheet Downloader certificates, manuals, CAD compact catalog PDFs │ │ ▼ ▼ Document PDF Parser ◄── you are here TED Datasheet Parser specs from SIOS PDFs specs from TED PDFs ```` ### Key Features - **Any SIOS PDF** — Manuals, certificates, brochures — whatever the Document Downloader saved. - **Specification extraction** — Parameter/value tables and inline key-value lines from PDF content. - **Technical tables** — Raw table rows with page numbers for downstream normalization. - **Limit values** — Rows mentioning limits, minimum, and maximum ratings. - **Wiring diagrams** — Optional image extraction from PDF pages to Key-Value Store. - **Chained workflow** — Reads PDFs from the current run or a previous Document Downloader run. - **Parse-only mode** — No browser when PDFs are already in Key-Value Store. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Description | Default | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `items` | **Recommended.** PDFs to parse with `keyValueStoreKey` from Document Downloader output. | — | | `keyValueStoreKeys` | Alternative: list of PDF keys only. | — | | `keyValueStoreId` | Store ID from a previous Document Downloader run. | — | | `searchTerms` | Discover mode: find one document PDF per MPN on SiePortal, download, parse.

Parse-only mode (PDFs already in Key-Value Store) is significantly lower cost than discover mode with browser. # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Siemens part numbers (discover mode). Finds a product document PDF on SiePortal, downloads from SIOS, and parses it. Prefer chaining after Document Downloader for lower cost. ## `locale` (type: `string`): SiePortal locale path segment (e.g. en-nl, en-us). ## `keyValueStoreId` (type: `string`): Optional. Store ID from a previous Document Downloader run when parsing existing PDFs instead of searchTerms. ## `keyValueStoreKeys` (type: `array`): Optional. PDF keys from Document Downloader output. Skips SiePortal discovery. ## `items` (type: `array`): Optional. PDFs with metadata from a Document Downloader dataset. ## `extractDiagrams` (type: `boolean`): Save large images from PDF pages to the run Key-Value Store. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Parallel PDF processing. Default is 2. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Used for searchTerms PDF download. Defaults to Apify residential proxy on Apify Cloud. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0" ], "locale": "en-nl", "extractDiagrams": false, "maxConcurrency": 2, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
