## About

## What it does
PDF Text Extraction lets you send a PDF file and get the text from every page back in a structured response. It is built for documents where you need the contents, not the layout: contracts, invoices, reports, manuals, and scanned records.

The endpoint accepts a single binary `file` in the request body, with a maximum size of 20 MB. The response returns the combined `text` for the document, the total number of `pages`, and a `pages_detail` array with per-page `page` numbers and `text` values. That gives you both a document-level result and page-level output you can index, search, or review independently.

Use PDF Text Extraction when you need to feed document text into search, analytics, review workflows, or downstream automation. For example, you can extract contract text before clause parsing, pull invoice text into an accounting pipeline, or split a report into page-level text for auditing and summarisation.

If the PDF contains mostly text, this is a straightforward way to turn it into machine-readable content without building your own parser.
