The problem it solves

PDFs like contracts, catalogs, or reports are often full of links, but there's no easy way to see or collect them without opening the file and clicking through page by page. That makes checking or reusing those links a tedious manual task.

Who it fits

Anyone who regularly needs to pull links out of contracts, catalogs, reports, or manuals.

How it works

  1. You upload a PDF file through a simple web form
  2. The file is converted from PDF to HTML
  3. The system scans the HTML for every link it contains
  4. You get back a list of all the extracted URLs
What you get

Links you don't click-hunt through a document

Upload any PDF and get back every link it contains, ready to use.

What you get

A list of every URL found inside the uploaded PDF.

What you need

A PDF.co account with an API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
