# PDF OCR
|
|
|
|
Extract text from PDF documents using AI-powered optical character recognition. Supports multiple quality tiers and languages. Requires the OCR feature bundle to be installed.
|
|
|
|
## API Endpoint
|
|
|
|
`POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/ocr-pdf`
|
|
|
|
Accepts multipart form data with a PDF file and an optional JSON `settings` field.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|
|
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| quality | string | No | `"balanced"` | OCR quality tier: `fast`, `balanced`, `best` |
|
|
| language | string | No | `"auto"` | Document language: `auto`, `en`, `de`, `fr`, `es`, `zh`, `ja`, `ko` |
|
|
| pages | string | No | `"all"` | Page selection, e.g. `"all"`, `"1-3"`, `"1,3,5"` |
|
|
|
|
## Example Request
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/pdf/ocr-pdf \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \

-F 'settings={"quality": "best", "language": "en", "pages": "1-5"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Response
|
|
|
|
Returns `202 Accepted`. Track progress via SSE at `/api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
|
|
"async": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Accepted input format: `.pdf`.
|
|
- This is an AI tool that requires the **OCR feature bundle** to be installed. If the bundle is not installed, the API returns `501 Not Implemented`.
|
|
- The `fast` quality tier uses a lighter model for quicker processing; `best` uses a more accurate model at the cost of speed.
|
|
- The `auto` language setting attempts to detect the document language automatically.
|
|
- You can target specific pages using ranges (`"1-3"`), comma-separated lists (`"1,3,5"`), or `"all"` for every page.
|
|
- For PDFs that already contain selectable text, consider using the faster [PDF to Text](./pdf-to-text) tool instead.
