Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert PDF to XML format?
To convert PDF to XML format, simply upload your PDF file(s) using the file selector above, click "Convert PDF to XML", and download your structured XML file. The conversion extracts text blocks, images, links, and page structure into a well-formed XML document that preserves the PDF's layout and content organization.
Is the conversion free?
Yes, fully free with no signup or limits.
Can I upload multiple PDFs?
Yes. You'll receive a ZIP archive containing all converted XML files.
What information is extracted in the XML?
The XML includes: text blocks with coordinates, page dimensions, image metadata, hyperlinks, and document structure organized by pages.
Will the XML preserve the PDF structure?
Yes. The XML maintains the page structure, text block positions, and relationships between elements. Text blocks include their coordinates for preserving layout.
Can I extract images from the XML?
The XML includes image metadata (dimensions, cross-references), but the actual image data would need to be extracted separately. This tool focuses on structure and text extraction.
What's the XML format structure?
The XML has a root <pdf> element containing <page> elements. Each page contains <text> with <block> elements, <images> with <image> elements, and <links> with <link> elements.
How long does the conversion take?
Conversion time depends on PDF size and complexity. Simple PDFs convert in seconds, while larger documents may take a minute or two.
Do you store my files?
No. Files are processed temporarily for conversion and then discarded.
Can I use the XML for data analysis?
Yes. The structured XML can be parsed and processed using any XML parser or programming language to extract and analyze PDF content programmatically.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs (image-based) will extract image metadata but may not have readable text blocks. Text-based PDFs produce better structured XML output.
