Welcome to Ivy Tools

Ivy Pdf Parser (.NET library)

Our Pdf Parser enables searching and extracting information from complex PDF documents including the ones with inconsistent formatting, variable-length text columns and tables.

The difference

Traditionally, PDF extraction tools are converting PDF documents to plain text and then search it using various means. With this approach you are losing any rich formatting information like font type, character size or bold/italic attributes.

Ivy Pdf Parser reads PDF as a graphical document, so you can use all rich text attributes for matching. For some documents it helps to extract the last pieces of information that cannot be determined from the plain text.
