Pdf4me actions 4

Every Pdf4me action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.

Convert to PDF

Tool to convert various document and image formats to PDF. Handles one file per call; multi-file PDFs require multiple calls followed by a separate merge step. Conversion permanently removes interactive form field editability — retain the original file as backup, and ensure all form fields are populated before converting. Use when you need to transform base64-encoded files into PDFs before further processing.

Extract Text from PDF

Tool to extract embedded text from text-based PDFs using PDF4me's ExtractResources endpoint. Use when you need to retrieve searchable text content from PDFs for analysis or processing. This tool does not perform OCR; for scanned or image-only PDFs, use OCR endpoints instead.

Fill PDF Form

Tool to fill PDF form fields programmatically using JSON or XML data. Use when you need to generate reports or populate forms from various data sources with mail merge functionality. Supports filling multiple documents from a list of data collection items.

Read Barcodes from Image

Tool to read and extract barcode or QR code data from image files (JPG/PNG). Use when you need to decode barcodes from images for data extraction or verification. Supports various barcode types including QR codes, Code128, DataMatrix, and more.
