Extract PDF page text into structured YAML output
This PDF to YAML converter uses the document's selectable text layer and writes an array of pages into a YAML file. Each page includes its number and extracted text; optional fields provide dimensions and document metadata. The output is a data wrapper around PDF text, not a reconstruction of any YAML configuration that might once have existed.
When to export a PDF as YAML
- Build a page-by-page text index for a developer workflow.
- Inspect extracted text and basic metadata with a YAML parser.
- Prepare plain text for an application that reads YAML rather than PDF.
If you have source YAML and want a printable document, use YAML to PDF. Need scanned-text recognition first? Try OCR PDF.
FAQs
Can it convert an image-only scan? Not directly. An image-only PDF has no selectable text to extract; OCR is required.
Does it preserve PDF design? No. YAML is for text and metadata, not page visual layout.
