API · PDF extraction

PDF data extraction API. Structured output.

Cogneris extracts fields, tables, line items, dates, parties, totals, and evidence from native PDFs and scanned PDFs, then returns validated JSON your systems can use.

Built for native PDFs, scanned PDFs, and packets

A PDF data extraction API has to handle embedded text, OCR-only scans, rotated pages, multi-page packets, and mixed document types. Cogneris classifies each file, applies OCR when needed, extracts against a schema, validates the result, and keeps page evidence attached to the output.

Fields

Names, dates, totals, IDs, addresses, clauses, balances, policy numbers, and custom schema fields.

Tables

Line items, transactions, row values, columns, subtotals, and table-level confidence.

Evidence

Page references, citations, confidence scores, validation status, and review metadata.

When this is stronger than OCR alone

OCR gives you text. PDF data extraction gives you typed fields, nested arrays, normalized values, validation errors, and workflow state. That difference matters when the data feeds underwriting systems, ERPs, CRMs, compliance workflows, or agent tools.
