Does the JSON include the raw text too?

Yes. Next to the structured content, a text array holds each page's full extracted text, one string per page.

Does it give positions or font information?

No. Each item has its type, heading level, page number and text, or rows for tables. Coordinates and font names are not included.

What if the PDF has no author or dates?

Missing metadata fields are null. Dates, when present, are ISO 8601 strings.

PDF Parser: PDF to structured JSON

Parse a PDF into JSON: headings with levels, paragraphs, list items, tables, page sizes and metadata, ready for your code.

Open PDF Parser (JSON) →Free · no sign-up · your file never leaves your browser

When you'd use it

Feeding a batch of PDF reports into your own app or data pipeline.
Building a search index that needs headings and paragraphs from PDF manuals.
Checking a PDF's author, creation date and page sizes in one file.

Just say what you need

There are no menus to learn. Drop your file on pdfagents.ai and type it the way you would say it:

“parse this into json”
“structured output please”
“I need this machine readable”

How it works

Drop the PDF.
Structure is detected in reading order.
Download the JSON.

A rule-based parser, not a model: fast, private and predictable, but it will not interpret meaning.

Private, and it keeps going

Your document is opened and saved on your own device, never uploaded. When the result is ready, type the next request (rotate, compress, add a password) and it applies to the result.
