PDF.co
PDF.co is a complete document processing platform with 37 API endpoints for extraction, conversion, editing, and barcode generation. Your AI agent taps into these capabilities to parse documents, convert formats, and fill forms mid-conversation. Document processing that used to require manual steps now happens in chat.
From barcode generation to OCR text extraction, your AI agent leverages PDF.co's full suite of document APIs to handle any document request conversationally.
PDF.co
PDF.co handles the heavy lifting of PDF processing. Your AI agent makes these capabilities available to anyone through natural language requests.
An accounts payable clerk shares a vendor invoice PDF with your AI agent and asks 'What is the total amount due?' The agent sends the PDF to PDF.co's document parser, extracts the invoice number, line items, total, and due date, then presents the structured data. The clerk gets clean numbers for their accounting system without retyping a single field.
A warehouse manager asks the agent to generate a QR code for a new product SKU. The agent calls PDF.co's barcode generator with the SKU data, receives the QR code image, and delivers it ready for printing. Labels generated on demand through conversation instead of waiting for the design team.
A consultant needs to combine a proposal, pricing sheet, and terms document into a single PDF for a client. They tell the agent which files to merge. The agent sends the file URLs to PDF.co's merge endpoint and returns the consolidated document. A task that required downloading three files and using desktop software now takes one message.

FAQs
The agent can extract text from PDFs (with OCR for scans), convert between formats (PDF to Excel, HTML, JSON, CSV, XML, images), generate and read barcodes in 45+ formats, merge and split PDFs, search and replace text, delete pages, rotate pages, add overlays, fill form fields, and parse documents using templates.
Yes. PDF.co's extraction endpoints support OCR for scanned PDFs, JPGs, PNGs, and TIFFs. The agent can make scanned documents searchable using the Change Text Searchable endpoint, or extract text directly from scanned sources using the PDF to Text endpoint with OCR enabled.
PDF.co supports asynchronous processing. The agent submits the job and uses the Job Check endpoint to poll for completion. Customers get progress updates while the document processes, and the final result is delivered once ready. No timeout issues on large files.
Tars requires your PDF.co API key, available from your PDF.co dashboard. Enter it once in the Tars Tools section. The key is encrypted and stored securely. You can check your remaining API credits through the Account Balance endpoint directly from the conversation.
Yes. PDF.co provides dedicated endpoints for PDF to XLS, PDF to XLSX, PDF to CSV, and PDF to JSON conversion. The agent sends the source PDF URL and returns the converted file. This works for both digital PDFs and scanned documents using OCR.
Tars does not maintain a separate file storage. Documents are processed through PDF.co's servers, which generate temporary URLs for results. PDF.co's own temporary file storage handles the processing lifecycle. Tars references these URLs within the conversation but does not persist files independently.
Calling PDF.co directly requires writing API requests with proper parameters, handling file URLs, and managing async jobs. Through Tars, your team describes what they need in plain language, like 'Extract the table from this PDF' or 'Generate a QR code for this URL.' The agent handles the API complexity.
Yes. Your agent can use PDF.co to extract data from a PDF, then feed that data into CraftMyPDF to generate a new document, or send extracted invoice data to your accounting tool. Tars chains multiple tool actions within a single conversation to build complete document workflows.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
