PDF Extractor API
Extract JSON data from PDFs with a developer-friendly API
What it does

Built for performance, predictable results, and rapid integration, PDFex removes manual parsing and brittle OCR glue so teams can automate data ingestion with confidence.

Hi HN, Arek here. We’re super excited to officially launch PSPDFKit API [1].

For example, you can convert, OCR, watermark, edit, and flatten a document — all in one call. Available actions [2]: - PDF Generator - PDF Converter - Image Converter - OCR - Watermark - Merge - Split - Duplicate - Delete - Flatten Our…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
