Automated Contact Extraction from PDF Files
Many directories, resumes, whitepapers, and lists are distributed as PDF files. Finding and copying email addresses from a multi-page PDF document is tedious. Our online PDF email extractor pulls the full text content from PDF URLs, runs a Regex parsing script, and returns all email addresses in a clean list.
How It Works
- Provide a direct link to a public PDF document online (e.g.,
https://example.com/directory.pdf). - Click ⚡ Extract Leads to initiate the parser.
- Our backend fetches the document, extracts the text using a PDF parsing library, and uses regex patterns to extract all email addresses.
- Download the verified contacts list as a CSV or JSON file.
Key Features
- Multipage Processing: Scan large PDF directories with hundreds of pages in seconds.
- Regex Pattern Filtering: We use advanced regular expressions to ensure only valid, structured emails are captured.
- Zero Document Storage: The file is processed in memory on our serverless endpoint and deleted immediately after extraction.
FAQ
Can I upload a local PDF file?
Currently, the tool accepts URLs to PDF files hosted online. If you have a local PDF, you can upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox, or any free image/file host and paste the direct sharing link here.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
The tool is optimized for digital text-based PDFs. If the PDF consists entirely of images (scanned documents), the standard text extractor will not find text. We recommend using a digital PDF or running it through an OCR scanner first.
What formats can I download?
You can download the email addresses and text snippets found inside the document as a clean CSV or JSON spreadsheet.
