About

AiDO for Developers is a PDF SDK and PDF API platform that lets software teams add PDF viewing, editing, conversion, OCR, e-signatures, and AI data extraction to their own applications. •PDF API: a cloud REST API that converts, merges, splits, compresses, OCRs, watermarks, protects, and signs PDFs, and extracts data with AI. It works in any language, and files up to 100 MB are processed asynchronously with webhooks. •PDF SDK: a native SDK for Windows and Linux (C++ and C#/.NET) covering forms, viewing, annotation, editing, conversion, OCR, signatures, and protection. •PDF Web SDK: white-label PDF experiences for your web app, built on WebAssembly, with theming, annotation, redaction, signing, forms and a headless Node.js mode. •WebApp (PDF Web Viewer): a ready-to-use web component for viewing, annotating, and searching PDFs with minimal setup.

About

pdfRest is a REST API for high-volume PDF processing, built on the Adobe PDF Library. Call it from any language to convert, generate, extract, secure, and prepare PDFs in production pipelines, chaining calls by passing a resource ID between steps. Convert Office, HTML, images, email, and Markdown to PDF, and PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, Markdown, PDF/A, PDF/X, and PostScript. Generate PDFs from scratch with text, images, shapes, and attachments, with accessibility tagging. Extract via OCR, text/image extraction, form data, metadata, AI summarization, translation. Secure with signing, encryption, restrictions, watermarking, two-step redaction, and TDM Reserve to opt out of AI training. Handle prepress: color conversion, transparency flattening, page boxes, rasterization. Manage forms: import/export, flatten, XFA-to-AcroForm. Deploy on pdfRest Cloud (US or EU) or self-host via Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS Marketplace (BYOL) — same API, same code, just change the base URL.

  • pdfRest is surely a business oriented PDF converter because it can convert all sorts of files, small and large, landscape or portrait, into splendid and crisp PDFs for all purposes.
  • It is the best documentation tool in the market for creating, editing and converting office suite documents into PDF. Really liked its simple to use procedures.

  • It is an excellent PDF conversion tool that offers a wide range of features and functionality. The platform provides a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to convert PDF files to various formats such as Word, Excel, and HTML. Additionally, PDFRest offers a robust API that allows users to seamlessly integrate PDF functionalities into their applications. One of the standout features of PDFRest is its conversion speed.

Cons

  • The team at PDFrest is incredibly helpful — they respond quickly, clearly, and even took individual feature requests into account without delay. The API itself is fast, user-friendly, and well-documented. A solid, reliable partner to work with.
  • Multiple file upload options is missing or I didn't find the option, either ways would appreciate some guidance.
  • I do not have complaints at the moment with regards to execution of the tool or its processes.
  • OCR feature could have been a lovely add. I hope the makers add this feature soon.
  • One area where the platform falls short is in its limited language support. PDFRest currently only supports English, which can be a significant limitation for users.
