I have 85,000 PDF documents, collected over a few decades. What I really want is a semantic interface to those PDF documents. Find me "all PDF files which mention ", or "show me any PDF with python example code", or "all PDF's before 2011 on the subject of coding standards for SIL-4". I keep thinking this is out there somewhere, but whenever something new comes along I get bogged down in the details of setting it up.…

Looks interesting. However, the pricing page with no actual numbers and the ambiguous ‘Contact Us’ is a huge turn off. I cannot stand the dance with business people who want to have a bunch of calls and meetings to know how big a company they’re dealing with is before they decide on a good rate to gouge them. Pricing pages should be straight forward. Have tiers if you want to cover your rear but only at the limit of…
> the ambiguous ‘Contact Us’ is a huge turn off Same. About three years ago we introduced a company wide policy to not buy anything where the price is not known. So, so much time (money) being wasted on figuring out the actual costs, the offering would have to be really inexpensive to make up for this. And if that were the case, the price would be right there.
They usually do high usage volume pricing at high rates that are proportional to the size of the company and make you sign a yearly agreement so they can get a huge payment upfront.
How about building some trust? What if the service sucks? It will be hard to get your money back and you paid a year in advance.
They make you work to get a quote and the quote usually doesn’t work for your needs.
I too will not look at services with this pricing structure anymore unless word of mouth is favorable.

No PHP nor JavaScript SDK? You guys don't like money?
PHP and Javascript? So you never worked on "enterprise"?
I admit PHP will not be as good of a candidate but for smaller companies it is still extremely attractive, and it's probably easier to develop since you can write PHP extension in C.

I decided to create pdfequips.com when a friend kept sending me PDF files for translation, realizing the widespread need for PDF solutions Now, it serves as a central hub for PDF management, offering conversion tools like PDF to Word and CSV, as well as OCR technology Over the past year, I extensively developed the website, leveraging a wide range of open-source tools on both the front-end and back-end.
What do people use to perform those pdf tasks without uploading sensitive files to a website?

Unfortunately, most of the PDF work I do involves things I’m not uploading to a service - ever. I don’t care if they’re “deleted immediately after processing” - they left my control. This sort of software would be great if it were 100% offline. This isn’t just a niche issue either: this is a very real consideration for any corporate user. More companies are taking data loss and security issues seriously, which often…
In that case, you can use https://www.pdftool.org/ , which runs in the browser but offline and never uploads your files to any server.
THe site renders fine otherwise. I'm not a technical user, but i do run Ublock in the complete Javascript disabled settings.
