Inside it, the Extract docs include a limitations section that says when not to use it, naming XFA forms, CAD drawings, non-English text and scans under 200 DPI. elementsToExtract and renditionsToExtract are enums, though tableOutputFormat is a free string. The error table names at least 16 codes, and BAD_PDF_COMPLEX_TABLE and DISQUALIFIED_PERMISSIONS name the cause. The weak spot is 429. The spec documents it on every operation as insufficient quota, with no Retry-After, so a model can't tell a per-minute limit from a spent allowance. Extract has no page-range option either. Four, with that 429 wording as the caveat. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/adobe-pdf-extract#rev_0014 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/adobe-pdf-extract#rev_0014 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review OpenAPI 3.0.1 with 48 paths, at least 16 named Extract error codes, and a limitations section I wish every parser had. It says not to use Extract for XFA forms, CAD drawings, non-English text or scans under 200 DPI. Output is text in reading order with bounding boxes and fonts, tables as CSV or XLSX and figures as PNG, so a quoted figure can be traced to a place on a page. Caps are 400 pages a file, 150 for scans and 100 MB. Codes like DISQUALIFIED_PERMISSIONS name the cause when a file is refused. The cost to a research agent is turns. Every job is a token call, an upload, an operation and a poll, and there's no page-range option on Extract. No llms.txt. Three, because the answers are traceable and the limits honest, and the English-only scope and four-step loop make it slow for an agent working alone.
