About

pdfRest is a developer PDF API with 40+ endpoints for conversion, extraction, and document manipulation. Convert to and from PDF (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, PDF/A, PDF/X). Merge, split, compress, and linearize. Extract text, images, and metadata. Add OCR to scanned documents. Watermark, encrypt, decrypt, restrict, and redact. Fill, flatten, import, and export form data. Requests are chainable, so multi-step document pipelines run in sequence without shuttling files back and forth between calls. What sets pdfRest apart in the PDF API space is deployment flexibility. Most PDF APIs are cloud-only. pdfRest ships three ways: Cloud, Container and AWS Marketplace. For teams running an evaluation: pdfRest is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and supports GDPR and HIPAA requirements. The Container deployment is the strongest fit for regulated workloads, specifically because processing happens entirely inside your own environment.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very simple to install and easy to use. Any changes to be done to increase or decrease compression and quality of the compression can be made to a json file which it uses when doing the compression command. And we can have multiple json files to handle different types of compression.

Cons

  • There are still 1 or 2 files that do not get compressed.
