PDF Scraper

Scrape and extract PDF text from PDF link.

Input

You can provide input either through the editor on the Apify platform or as a JSON object.

The only mandatory field you need to provide is the PDF URL (pdfUrl).

An example of minimal input:

{
    "pdfUrl": "http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}

We recommend using the proxies to overcome blocking and detection like this:

{
    "pdfUrl": "http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}

Output

The scraped text is saved to the key-value store in the record named "OUTPUT", and it looks like this:

{
    "The pdf995 suite of products - Pdf995, PdfEdit995, and Signature995 - is a complete solution for your document publishing needs. It\nprovides ease of use, flexibility in format, and industry-standard security- and all at no cost to you...",
    ...
