PDF.co

As a PDF API in the coding and development category, PDF.co sets itself apart by pairing plain document handling with AI parsing.

PDF.co is a web API for PDF document processing and automation that developers call over REST instead of writing their own PDF code.

It extracts data from PDFs, edits them, converts them to other formats, and merges or splits files.

The AI features cover invoice parsing, document parsing and document classification, which is useful if you handle stacks of incoming paperwork.

OCR and image analysis are listed as related capabilities, so scanned files are covered too.

The API is low-code, so you can connect it to an existing workflow without much custom engineering.

The goal is to cut repetitive manual PDF tasks and save working hours.
