You pay per PDF that returns text. Links that fail and PDFs with no text (scans) are free.
Good to know
- This Actor reads text stored inside the PDF. It does not do OCR, so scanned pages return no text.
- Tables come out as plain text lines, not as table cells.
- Limits: 100 MB per file, 200 links per run, about 5 minutes per run. Links not reached are listed so you can run them again.
- Private and internal addresses are refused. It does not log in to websites or solve CAPTCHAs: links must be publicly reachable.
- Only process documents you have the right to use.
