What are PDF APIs?

PDF APIs are software interfaces that enable developers to integrate PDF-related functionality into their applications or websites. These APIs allow for the creation, manipulation, conversion, and extraction of content from PDF files without requiring users to manually open or edit the files. Common features of PDF APIs include merging, splitting, editing text, adding annotations, and extracting text and images. They can also handle PDF conversions, such as converting PDFs to other formats like Word, Excel, or HTML, and vice versa. By using PDF APIs, businesses can automate document workflows, enhance document management systems, and integrate PDF capabilities into custom applications seamlessly.
