PDFJSONConverter
Convert PDF documents into clean, structured JSON output. Extracts text, tables, form fields, metadata, and document structure into a machine-readable JSON format suitable for API ingestion, database storage, and programmatic processing.
How It Works
Upload a PDF file or provide a URL to the Mixpeek API.
The document is classified as digital-native or scanned, with OCR applied as needed.
Layout analysis segments the document into pages, paragraphs, tables, and form fields.
An LLM maps extracted content to your target JSON schema or a default document schema.
Structured JSON is returned with pages, content blocks, tables, and metadata.
Code Examples
import os, requests
API = "https://api.mixpeek.com"
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['MIXPEEK_API_KEY']}",
"X-Namespace": os.environ["NAMESPACE_ID"]}
# 1. a bucket, with a schema that declares the field you will send
bucket = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets", headers=H, json={
"bucket_name": "pdf-inputs",
"bucket_schema": {"properties": {"pdf": {"type": "pdf"}}},
}).json()
# 2. land the file as an object. the URL goes in data, on the blob
requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets/{bucket['bucket_id']}/objects", headers=H, json={
"key_prefix": "run-1",
"blobs": [{"property": "pdf", "type": "pdf",
"data": "https://example.com/report.pdf"}],
})
# 3. a collection over that bucket, running the extractor
collection = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/collections", headers=H, json={
"collection_name": "pdf-to-json",
"source": {"type": "bucket", "bucket_ids": [bucket["bucket_id"]]},
"feature_extractor": {"feature_extractor_name": "document_graph_extractor", "version": "v1"},
}).json()
# 4. run extraction over the bucket
requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets/{bucket['bucket_id']}/batches", headers=H, json={
"collection_ids": [collection["collection_id"]],
"auto_submit": True,
})
# 5. read the output
docs = requests.get(
f"{API}/v1/collections/{collection['collection_id']}/documents", headers=H
).json()
print(docs)Use Cases

Quick Info
Run it over a library
Mixpeek runs this conversion as a pipeline over a whole library in your object storage, with the output landing as queryable documents. It is not a single-file converter.
