PDF Metadata Extractor

Pull the metadata out of any PDF by URL — no full-text dump, just the facts you need, fast.

Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.

What you get

For each PDF link you pass in, you get back:

  • pages — total page count
  • version — PDF format version (e.g. 1.4, 1.7)
  • infotitle, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer
  • createdAt / modifiedAt — creation and modification timestamps, normalized to ISO 8601
  • preview — the first ~500 characters of page one, so you can eyeball the content

Single URL or bulk — pass one url or an array of urls (up to 50 per run).

Input

{
"url": "https://example.com/report.pdf",
"urls": [
"https://example.com/whitepaper.pdf",
"https://example.com/invoice.pdf"
],
"maxPdfs": 25
}

Output

{
"url": "https://example.com/report.pdf",
"pages": 12,
"version": "1.7",
"info": {
"title": "Q3 Financial Report",
"author": "Jane Doe",
"subject": "Quarterly results",
"keywords": "finance, q3, report",
"creator": "Microsoft Word",
"producer": "Acrobat PDFMaker",
"createdAt": "2023-10-05T12:00:00.000Z",
"modifiedAt": "2023-10-06T09:30:00.000Z"
},
"preview": "Q3 Financial Report — prepared for the board of directors..."
}

Each successfully processed PDF charges a single pdf-processed event.
