  The cloud based application I will use here is named as VeryPDF PDF to Text Converter Cloud API, by which you can also convert scanned PDF files to plain text files with advanced OCR technology. In the following part, I will show you how to convert PDF to plain text in specified page range.

Step 1. Get an API code

  • When you need to use VeryPDF cloud based applications in a long run, please buy an API code or else there will be watermark on output file.
  • For getting API code, please register an account and then pay for it on Try and Buy website. Of course, if you would like to use the trail version, the conversion also could be done without any problem.

  • Same with other cloud based application, when converting PDF to text, you also do not need to install any application except one browser.
  • Before run the conversion, please upload local PDF file to online file as now the API can not process local PDF file. The open any browser and input URL following the below example then you can run the conversion.
  • Here is an example of URL, please have a check:
    http://online.verypdf.com/api/?apikey=XXXX&app=pdftools
    &infile=http://online.verypdf.com/examples/cloud-api/
    verypdf2.pdf&outfile=verypdf.txt&-f=1&-l=1
    By the above URL, we can convert the first page of PDF file to text. When you run the real conversion, please change the API code to the real code, change the URL of example PDF to the URL of the PDF you need to convert. At the end of the URL, please add parameters for specifying conversion page range. Here are two parameters uses in above URL:
  • -f <int>     : first page to convert
