FAQ
What is the structure of the generated XML?
The root element is pdf-document. It contains a metadata block (title, author, subject, keywords, page count) and a pages block, where each page holds text lines in reading order. Standard XML parsers can read it directly.
Can I include text coordinates?
Yes. Choose the with coordinates mode and every line element carries x and y attributes recording its position on the page, which helps restore the original layout or run layout analysis.
Can scanned PDFs be converted to XML?
No. Scanned files have no text layer, so extraction returns empty. Run the OCR tool first to turn page images into text, then extract XML.
How is this different from PDF to JSON?
Both extract the same content and differ only in output format. XML suits enterprise systems, data exchange interfaces and archiving, while JSON suits web apps and scripting.
Are special characters escaped?
Yes. Angle brackets, ampersands and quotes are escaped as XML entities, and control characters that the XML specification forbids are stripped, so the output always parses cleanly.
