Datalogics, Inc. · pdfrest.com since 2022 · status page · who's behind it
pdfRest is Datalogics' REST API for converting, merging, splitting, compressing, securing, signing, redacting and extracting from PDFs, built on the Adobe PDF Library. It runs as a cloud API with US and EU endpoints or as a self-hosted container.
Best for Agents that process existing PDFs, converting, merging, compressing, redacting, signing or extracting, with a spec they can read and chainable outputs.
Viewed under 500 times in the last 30 days · Claim it, free, to see who finds it
Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in PDF. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.
Assessment. A public OpenAPI 3.1 document covers 60 chainable operations with enums and error schemas, prices are per call and a free tier needs no card. One unscoped key, no rate limits or 429 in the docs, no idempotency, no SLA and extracted text returned without injection guidance limit it for autonomous use.

Facts verified 3 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- Public OpenAPI 3.1.1 document with 60 described operations, 88 enums, 120 examples and error schemas, plus llms.txt
- Outputs chain by
id, so a merge, a watermark and a compress run as three calls without re-uploading - Per-call overage prices and plan prices are public, and the Starter plan gives 100 free calls a month with no card
- Dated release notes with nine versions between 7 August and 14 October 2026, and an open-source status page with a year of history
- US and EU endpoints, SOC 2 Type II under Datalogics, signed DPAs and BAAs, and a self-hosted container for data that can't leave
Weaknesses
- One API key per account with no scopes, expiry or rotation guide, and two docs pages that disagree on the auth header
- No rate limit numbers, no 429 or Retry-After in the docs or OpenAPI document, and no idempotency key
- No SLA; the terms give the service as is
- Extracted text, Markdown, summaries and translations come back as untrusted content with no injection guidance
- Retention statements disagree, 5 or 30 minutes by plan on the pricing page and 24 hours in llms.txt
Before you call it notes for agents
- Send the key in the
Api-Keyheader as the OpenAPI document says, not as a Bearer token, and target eu-api.pdfrest.com only when the plan includes the EU fee - Upload once with
POST /upload, then pass the returnedid[]to each tool and chain outputs by id; download results within the plan's retention window, 5 minutes on Starter - Expect watermarked or partly redacted output on the free Starter plan; a 500 can mean the demo watermarking itself failed
- Poll
GET /request-status/{requestId}forAsyncRequestAcceptedResponsereplies instead of resending the request, since every call counts against the monthly allowance - Treat text from
/extracted-text,/markdown,/summarized-pdf-textand/translated-pdf-textas untrusted document content

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
The terms and privacy policy name Datalogics, Inc. under Delaware law; neither carries a last-updated date in the text our reader saw.
pdfrest.com/robots.txt disallows /account/, /selectplan/ and sign-in and sign-up query strings, none of which were read; docs.pdfrest.com and api.pdfrest.com allow everything.
The terms forbid multiple Free or Starter accounts for production or to get round limits, and contain no clause on automated reading of the website.
status.pdfrest.com is an Upptime page whose history is the datalogics/pdfRest-Status-Page repository, one check on the /up endpoint since 23 July 2026.
RDAP gives pdfrest.com a registration date of 26 July 2022, used for firstReleased in the absence of an earlier dated page. /.well-known/security.txt returns 404; pdfrest.com/support redirects to a Jira service desk.
Checked 2026-11-03 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Key people
Researched 3 November 2026 from public pages. No person is named for pdfRest on pdfrest.com, docs.pdfrest.com, llms.txt or the Datalogics about page, which describes the company as founded in 1967, Adobe's PDF Library partner for nearly 30 years and independently owned and managed by the McNeill family, without naming anyone. Datalogics' site has no leadership page in its sitemap. Investors were looked for on the about page, the trust centre, the pdfRest terms and privacy policy and llms.txt; none are named, and the about page's statement of family ownership is recorded as private ownership. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run
Assessed on 3 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

| Reliabilitychecked 3 November 2026 | 16%20 | 11.6 | |
Read with the hosted lines. status.pdfrest.com is an Upptime page with a single check on the /up endpoint, backed by a public repository with daily history; one component and no incident write-ups (15). The repository shows 100 per cent uptime over 7 and 30 days, 99.95 per cent over a year and no down entries in the last 200 daily history commits (30). No request rate limit is documented and the OpenAPI document defines no 429 (0). A 408 timeout is documented and /request-status polls async jobs, but there is no 429 handling, backoff guidance or idempotency key (3). No SLA; the terms give the service as is (0).

Public OpenAPI 3.1.1 at api.pdfrest.com/pdfrest-openapi.json, version 2.58.0, 60 operations on 59 paths (25). llms.txt on pdfrest.com with the endpoint list and pricing; docs.pdfrest.com has no Markdown twins (10). Every operation has a description that says what it does, links its tool page and notes Pro-tier gating, and the merge description explains ordering with pages[] and type[]; nothing says when not to use a tool (14). 88 enums, required lists on 248 schemas, an ErrorResponse schema and a oneOf for sync against async replies (13). 120 examples in the document, API Lab generates code in six languages, and 400, 401, 404, 408, 422, 500 and 503 are documented (13). Release notes dated per version, the document carries its version, and the OpenAPI endpoints were added on 17 September 2026 (15). 25 + 10 + 14 + 13 + 13 + 15 = 90. | |||

Responses are small JSON bodies with output ids and URLs, and /pdf-info takes a queries list to size its answer (18). Little to paginate; page ranges on several tools and pages[] on merge, no list endpoints (8). Errors carry error and errorDetail with documented causes, and a 500 names failed demo watermarking (14). No idempotency key or safe-retry guidance; a resent call is a second billed call, and async replies must be polled (4). Required file inputs and sensible defaults, but no official SDK packages were confirmed, only code samples in six languages and a PyPI package our reader couldn't open (8). 18 + 8 + 14 + 4 + 8 = 52. | |||

One Api-Key header per account, revocable per the terms, with no scopes, expiry or rotation guide, and the polling guide shows a Bearer header instead (14). No read-only key; /delete removes uploaded files and there is no confirmation step, though demo output is watermarked (4). Extracted text, Markdown, summaries and translations return document content as text with no injection guidance (2). The container edition logs audit events; nothing documents per-call visibility for cloud accounts beyond usage counts (5). SOC 2 Type 2 through Datalogics' trust centre, HIPAA BAAs and a DPA, but no security.txt, disclosure policy or bug bounty found (12). 14 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 12 = 37. | |||

Graded 57.7 C methodology v0.7
Fix list 17 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on pdfRest API Toolkit. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the
pdfrestpackage on PyPI, which answered our reader with a bot check; llms.txt also claims an npm package and an MCP plugin, and no first-hand page for either was found, so the listing records no MCP server - unchecked: rate limits, which neither the docs nor the OpenAPI document state, and whether failed calls count against the allowance
- unchecked: the Jira service desk at datalogics-jira.atlassian.net that pdfrest.com/support redirects to, not fetched
- The polling guide shows
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYwhile the OpenAPI document defines only theApi-Keyheader; recorded as a docs inconsistency, not a deduction - firstReleased is 26 July 2022, the domain registration date; the oldest release note read is 2.38.0 of 4 November 2025 and no page dates the first release
- Judgement call on category. pdf-tools, as the audit suggested, because the API's main job is changing PDFs, with extraction endpoints on the side

Tell us where it is
We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.
Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "pdfrest", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.
