Convert PDF to XML
What is PDF?
PDF stores document content as pages with text, graphics, and formatting. Data formats store structured key-value pairs for machine processing. PDFs are meant for human reading, not machine parsing. Extracting structured data from PDF requires specialized extraction tools or AI, not simple format conversion.
- PDF preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information
What is XML?
XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) stores structured data as human-readable text using custom tags with opening/closing pairs. Hierarchical tree structure supporting attributes and namespaces. Self-describing with schema validation (XSD, DTD). Verbose compared to JSON but more powerful for complex documents. Universal data exchange format. Maximum size limited by parser. Used extensively in office formats (DOCX, ODT).
- XML is a data format
