What is PDF to XML Converter?
Export a PDF as structured XML, with each page as an element containing its lines in reading order plus a metadata block. Useful for feeding documents into XML-based pipelines, content management systems and archival workflows.
How to use PDF to XML Converter
- Choose the PDF you want to convert.
- Click “Convert to XML” and wait while each page is read.
- Review the output, then copy it or download the .xml file.
Why use this tool?
Valid, properly escaped XML
Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes in your document are escaped correctly, so the output parses cleanly instead of breaking on the first special character.
Structured by page and line
Each page becomes an element with numbered attributes and individual line children, which makes the result straightforward to query with XPath.
Frequently asked questions
What XML structure is produced?
A root <document> element carrying the filename and page count, a <metadata> block with any document properties found, then one <page number="n"> element per page containing <line> children in reading order.
Why does my scanned PDF produce nothing?
Scans contain images rather than text, so there is nothing to extract. Use the OCR tool to recognise the text first.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every tool on Toolraq runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — there is no upload endpoint at all. You can verify this yourself by opening your browser’s DevTools Network tab while you use the tool.
