PDF OCR API

Extract text from PDF files using OCR. Supports scanned documents, images, and multi-page PDFs. Returns structured text with page numbers and confidence scores. Built by John Rippy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnrippy/ | https://johnrippy.link/).

Quick Start

Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)

{
"demoMode":true,
"pdfUrl":""
}

Run with real data

{
"demoMode":false,
"pdfUrl":"",
"language":"eng",
"outputFormat":"json",
"detectTables":false
}

Input Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultRequiredDescription
pdfUrlstring-NoURL of the PDF file to process
pdfBase64string-NoBase64-encoded PDF content (alternative to URL)
languagestring"eng"NoLanguage hint for OCR (improves accuracy)
pageRangestring-NoPages to process (e.g., '1-5' or '1,3,5'). Leave empty for all pages.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event billing:

Demo mode is free -- no charges for sample data.

Troubleshooting

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

  • Invalid input format (check the examples above)
  • The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
