pdfRest Launches New API Tool: Query PDF

Query PDF is a REST API tool that quickly returns PDF document details, metadata, and other conditional information about the file and its contents, including forms, fonts, and security settings. With 25+ query options you can get all the information you need in an easy-to-parse key:value pairs in standard JSON format with one API Call.  Powered by veraPDF, the industry-standard for PDF/A conformance validation, Query PDF can validate whether a document successfully conforms to any of the many PDF/A conformance levels.

In addition to returning detailed information about a PDF document, Query PDF can be paired other pdfRest API Tools by providing valuable information that can be used to programmatically assess and determine next steps for each document. Some common use cases include:

• Conditionally split PDFs based on number of pages or file size
• Convert PDFs to PDF/A only when they are not already conformant to that standard
• Encrypt files that do not already have security measures applied
• Confirm PDFs contain the expected content, such as tags, signatures, or forms, before sending them on to their intended audience

Query PDF provides all the answers you need to help power your workflows.
