# Get the table of contents of a PDF

**Use case:** 

The bookmark outline the document carries, with each heading, its level and the page it points to. It is the cheapest way to see how a long report is organised, and to decide which page range is worth extracting in full.

## Input

```json
{
  "pdfUrls": [
    "https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15.pdf",
    "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165"
  ],
  "detectTables": false,
  "extractKeyFields": false,
  "includeFormFields": true,
  "includeLinks": true,
  "includeLines": false,
  "outputFormats": [
    "json"
  ],
  "firstPage": 1,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "inlineFullResult": "auto",
  "concurrency": 3,
  "retries": 2,
  "timeoutSecs": 120,
  "maxFileSizeMb": 100,
  "headers": {},
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "PDF"
  },
  "pageCount": {
    "label": "Pages"
  },
  "outline": {
    "label": "Outline (heading, level, page)"
  },
  "pagesCharged": {
    "label": "Pages charged"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [PDF to JSON Extractor — Tables, Fields & Structure](https://apify.com/power_on/pdf-to-json-extractor.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/power_on/pdf-to-json-extractor.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/power_on/pdf-to-json-extractor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
