Pricing

Pay per event — only successful extractions are charged (pdf-processed). A PDF that fails to download, fails to parse, is password-protected, or contains no extractable text costs you nothing.

Scope & limits

Digital PDFs only. Scanned/image-only PDFs have no text layer; they are reported with a clear note and not charged (OCR is deliberately out of scope — it would multiply the price for everyone).
PDFs up to 100 MB.

Works with AI agents

This Actor is exposed through Apify's MCP server, so AI agents (Claude, GPT, LangGraph, CrewAI…) can call it as a tool: "extract the text of this PDF and summarize it." Structured JSON output means no post-processing.

FAQ

Does it OCR scanned documents? No — and that's why it's cheap. If the PDF has a text layer, you get it fast; if not, you're told so and not charged.

How fast is it? No browser starts up: a typical 30-page PDF extracts in ~2–4 seconds.

Can I extract only the first pages? Yes, set maxPages (e.g. 5) — useful for classifying large documents cheaply.
