Visit PDF4me

PDF4me is a document API platform for generating, converting, manipulating, and managing documents. It addresses document-heavy tasks such as converting files between formats, merging and splitting PDFs, optimizing output, applying OCR for scanned documents, producing PDF/A-compliant archives, adding password protection, and inserting barcodes, QR codes, and watermarks. It also supports document generation from templates and AI-based document parsing.

The platform provides APIs for these operations along with client libraries for common programming languages. It includes a reporting engine for generating Word, PDF, or HTML documents populated with dynamic data from sources such as Excel, JSON, and XML, as well as a document parser with classification and extraction capabilities. An AI Document Parser runs saved Analyzer Templates to extract structured fields from documents such as invoices, receipts, contracts, and purchase orders. PDF4me integrates with no-code automation platforms including Zapier, Power Automate, Make, n8n, and Appy Pie, and offers its own Workflows dashboard for creating and managing document workflows.

PDF4me is aimed at developers and businesses automating document processes. Pricing is based on monthly API call subscriptions with cumulative plans, plus optional one-time prepaid API packages that do not expire while the account remains active. Different features consume calls at different rates, with some charged per document and others per page. Custom quotes are available for business and enterprise requirements.
