Convert PDF to XML

This exports content as XML, which matters when another system has to consume it. XML carries structure alongside the text, so downstream software can pick out the parts it needs rather than parsing prose.

How to Convert PDF to XML

  1. Upload the PDF.
  2. Convert to XML.
  3. Download the file for your import routine.

When you would use this

  • Feeding document content into a records system that ingests XML.
  • Preparing an archival package that requires structured metadata.
  • Passing content to a publishing pipeline.

Questions

What structure does the XML have?

It reflects the layout the PDF exposes: pages, blocks and text runs. It is not a semantic schema for your domain.

Can I map it to my own schema?

You will need a transformation step, usually XSLT or a script.

Does it work on scans?

Run OCR PDF first, or the XML will describe images rather than text.

Need this at scale?

These tools handle one document at a time. When the job is thousands of files, Greenbooks handles document digitization as a managed service, including bulk scanning, OCR and metadata capture, with the output loaded into DocuVenta DMS. Talk to us about volume work.
