Welcome to PDF Textractor PRO! 📄✨ The ultimate, server-side PDF extraction engine designed specifically for Bubble developers building AI, RAG, and data processing applications.
The AI Token-Saver Advantage 🤖💰
Stop sending 100-page PDFs to OpenAI or Claude when you only need data from page 2! Sending massive files wastes thousands of tokens and costs you money. With PDF Textractor PRO, you can pinpoint the exact pages you need, extract the raw text, and fetch hidden metadata before making any AI API calls.
🌟 PRO Exclusive Features:
🎯 Smart Page Selection: Extract text from specific pages or ranges (e.g., "1", "1-3", "5, 8-10"). Perfect for ignoring useless index pages or terms & conditions!
📊 Metadata Extraction: Unlock hidden document data. Instantly retrieve the Page Count, Author, Creation Date, and PDF Title.
⚡ 100% Server-Side Engine: Processes complex PDFs in milliseconds in the background, keeping your frontend lightning-fast.
🛡️ Fail-Safe Logic: Built-in error handling prevents your Bubble workflows from crashing if a file is corrupted.
🖥️ Zero-WU Client-Side Extraction: Process massive 500-page documents in seconds for FREE. The new visual element runs entirely in the user's browser, saving your Bubble server capacity.
🧠 Hybrid Tesseract OCR: No more empty results from scanned invoices or photos! If the engine detects an image-based PDF, it automatically switches to Optical Character Recognition (AI) to read the pixels.
📰 Force OCR for Complex Layouts: Dealing with complex 2-column scientific papers or magazines? Turn on Force OCR to let the AI segment the visual blocks and keep the reading order perfect.
📏 Smart Layout Retention: Our native digital algorithm sorts text by exact X/Y coordinates and automatically merges broken hyphenated words to keep paragraphs clean.
📊 Live UI Feedback: The engine exposes real-time states like progress_percent and is_working so you can build beautiful, Netflix-style loading bars for your users.
Dual Architecture:
Includes both the Client-Side Engine (for zero-cost UI extractions) and the Server-Side Action (for backend workflows and webhooks).
📚 Extract Multiple Documents (Batch Processing): Send a list of PDF URLs and the plugin will queue and process them one by one automatically! No more recursive workflows needed!
📊 Global Progress Tracking: Real-time updates for overall_progress_percent and current_file_index so your users know exactly how the bulk upload is going.
🎨 Visual Document Management: Show a "cover" of your invoices, contracts, or reports in your repeating groups.
⚡ Zero Server Costs: The conversion happens entirely in the user's browser using the existing pdf.js engine.
🚀 Instant Results: Generate a preview of Page 1 in milliseconds.
🧩 Perfect for Galleries: Output a clean Base64 string that plugs directly into any Bubble Image element.
Key Benefits of V5:
📉 Zero AI Token Costs: Run complex regular expressions (Regex) locally in the browser or instantly on your server without paying a single cent in OpenAI API tokens.
🧼 Auto-De-duplicate: The engine automatically cleans the extracted data. If an email appears on the footer of all 20 pages, Bubble will only receive one unique, clean entry.
⚡ Blazing Fast: Data mining happens concurrently with the text extraction process, adding virtually zero overhead to your execution times.
