Why Convert PDF to JSON?
Portable Document File (PDF) is often used to store and transfer information between or within organizations since it can preserve the original formatting and is universally accessible. However, PDF isn't an structured document format, making it very difficult to extract specific data for further processing or automation.
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), on the other hand, stores the data in attribute-value pairs and arrays and is both human- and machine-readable. This then allows seamless integration with various applications and makes it the standard format for data exchange on web applications and more.
Is the Extracted Data Safe With FormX?
Certainly. We understand that many of the processed PDF files may contain personal or confidential data. FormX does not use or store the extracted JSON results in any permanent storage. Read our data privacy policy for more.
Is This PDF to JSON Tool Free to Use?
Yes, this PDF to JSON converter is free to use.
Aside from the free tool, FormX also offers a more advanced solution with pre-built extraction models, or extractor, including receipt, bank statement, invoice, and more. You can also build your own custom extractor with as little as one sample as FormX is powered by machine learning and large language model like GPT-4.

When should I use PDF to JSON instead of PDF to CSV?
Use JSON when you need nested data — line items within an invoice, transactions within a bank statement, or fields within a tax form. CSV is a flat format; JSON preserves the document's hierarchical structure, making it easier to consume via API or integrate with web applications.
