What is PdfParse?
PdfParse is a novel platform that transforms unstructured PDF documents into robust, queryable SQLite databases. Unlike traditional OCR tools that output raw text or basic JSON, PdfParse leverages AI-powered extraction with automatic data normalization to create structured, production-ready databases from your documents.
Whether you’re processing invoices, receipts, contracts, or custom forms, PdfParse handles the complexity of nested data relationships, table extraction, and schema validation - delivering SQLite databases you can download and integrate immediately.

Key Features
User-Generated Schemas
Define custom structured schemas tailored to your document types. Create tables with typed fields, set validation rules, and build reusable templates for invoices, receipts, contracts, or any custom form.
Nested Table Relationships
Extract complex hierarchical data with parent-child relationships. PdfParse automatically handles foreign keys and maintains referential integrity across related tables.
SQLite as Single Source of Truth
Get robust, portable, ACID-compliant databases in a single file. SQLite is the backbone of most LLM agents and modern data pipelines - fast, reliable, and universally supported.
Human-Readable Errors
When extraction encounters issues, PdfParse provides clear, actionable error messages with a built-in review interface. Review errors in context, trigger retries, and track resolution progress.
SQL-Based Navigation
Browse extracted data with a spreadsheet-like interface. Search, filter, execute custom queries, and export tables as CSV, JSON, or SQLite files.
Use Cases
- Invoice Processing: Extract line items, customer data, and totals into structured tables
- Receipt Management: Parse merchant info, transaction details, and itemized purchases
- Contract Analysis: Extract parties, terms, dates, and clauses for legal review
- Form Digitization: Convert paper forms into queryable databases
- Document Archival: Build searchable databases from historical documents
