PDF or image URLs

fileUrls

Optional

Direct links to PDF files or images (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP), one per line. Duplicates are removed. Links that fail to download or are not a PDF/image are listed with the reason and are free.

Type:array

Read file URLs from a dataset (optional)

Optional

ID of an Apify dataset with file links, e.g. the output of another scraper. Without a URL field, every value that looks like a link to a .pdf or image file is collected.

Type:string

URL field in the dataset (optional)

urlField

Optional

Name of the dataset field that holds the file link (dot notation like documents.url works; arrays are expanded). Use it when your links don't end in .pdf.

Type:string

OCR mode

ocrMode

Optional

auto = read the PDF's own text layer and OCR only pages without text (scanned pages) and images. always = OCR every page. never = text layer only, no OCR charges.

Type:string

Default:auto

Options:

autoalwaysnever
