About This PDF to JSON Converter
Our PDF to JSON converter uses PDF.js to extract text content, metadata, and structural information from PDF documents and outputs it as a structured JSON file. The JSON includes the filename, page count, PDF version, document metadata (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer), hierarchical bookmarks/outline, and per-page content with page number, dimensions, rotation, and extracted text. The pretty-printed JSON output is suitable for data processing, automated workflows, and integration with other tools. Batch upload multiple PDFs — they convert automatically. All processing stays local in your browser — no data is ever uploaded.

Important Notes
This converter extracts text content from PDFs using PDF.js. The JSON output includes all readable text from each page, document metadata, and bookmarks. Scanned PDFs (image-based documents) cannot be processed since they lack selectable text. Complex layouts may result in text ordering that differs from visual appearance. For critical data extraction, always verify the output against the original PDF.
