PDF metadata tutorials
Extract PDF Metadata for Document Management with Java
Read PDF metadata including page count, file size, author, and encryption status using Java. Build smarter document catalogs, enable advanced filtering, and detect protected files automatically for your document management system.
Extract PDF Content into Markdown Notes with an Agent
Stop pasting PDFs into chat windows: the agent pulls clean, page-numbered text over MCP and writes the vault-ready note itself — front matter, the headline stat with its page citation, and a section map. Weeks later, search-pdf-content retrieves the exact quote without re-reading anything.
Extract PDF Text for RAG Pipelines & LLMs with Python
This tutorial explains how to extract clean text from PDFs for RAG pipelines using the Apdf API in Python. It demonstrates replacing messy local libraries with an API that returns structured JSON, allowing developers to easily feed high-quality document data into OpenAI or vector databases.
Your code made the PDF.
Then it went dark.
Opened, read, re-read, dropped on page 4 — you never see any of it. Share the PDFs you generate through Apdf recipient links, and every signal becomes something you can act on: ping Slack, update the CRM, let an agent follow up. Same account, same API token, one more call.
