Custom ProfilesUse JSON to customize PDF processing with options like output resolution, OCR settings, text extraction methods, encryption, and image handling. Check our Custom Profile section to see all available parameters for your current endpoint.No

Custom Profiles

You can set additional options for the operation used in the PDF.co node by using Custom Profiles. A custom profile is a string in JSON-like format containing predefined parameters. Here’s an example of a Custom Profiles input:
{ "outputDataFormat": "base64" }
With this input, the PDF.co operation will return the output in base64 format. You can find the list of available parameters for customizing profiles in the PDF.co operation documentation below:
ParameterTypeDefaultDescriptionAvailable for

ColumnDetectionModestringContentGroupsAndBordersControls column detection/alignment in PDF table extraction. See Column Detection Mode for more information.PDF to CSV, PDF to XLS,
OCRModestringAutoSpecifies how OCR (Optical Character Recognition) should process input content, offering various modes to tailor text extraction based on content type such as images, fonts, and vector graphics. For more information, see OCR Extraction Modes.PDF to CSV, PDF to JSON, PDF to Text, PDF to XLS, PDF to XML, PDF to HTML, PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, PDF to WEBP, PDF to TIFF,

RotationAngleinteger-Use manual rotation to handle PDFs with vertically drawn text. Normally, OCR automatically detects page rotation in PDFs and extracts text accurately. However, in some cases, the PDF might not have an actual rotated page --- Rather, the text itself is drawn vertically. In such scenarios, auto-detection may fail. You can use this parameter to manually set the page rotation. The available angles are: 0123.PDF to CSV, PDF to JSON, PDF to Text, PDF to XLS, PDF to XML, PDF to HTML, PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, PDF to WEBP, PDF to TIFF,
LineGroupingModestringNoneControls line grouping in PDF text extraction.

DetectNewColumnBySpacesRatiostring1.2Controls how spaces between words are interpreted for column detection in PDF text extraction. It defines the ratio of space width that determines when text should be treated as being in separate columns.PDF to CSV, PDF to JSON, PDF to Text, PDF to XLS, PDF to XML, PDF to HTML, PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, PDF to WEBP, PDF to TIFF,
AutoAlignColumnsToHeaderbooleantrueControls how columns are detected and aligned during table extraction from PDF documents. It affects both table structure detection and text extraction with formatting preservation. Set to true to automatically align columns to the header row. When set to true (default), the row with the most columns is used as the header, and all other rows are aligned to this structure --- ideal for well-structured tables. When set to false, columns are analyzed independently across all rows to build the structure, which works better for inconsistent or irregular tables.PDF to CSV, PDF to JSON, PDF to Text, PDF to XLS, PDF to XML, PDF to HTML, PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, PDF to WEBP, PDF to TIFF,
OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddGammaCorrection()array[string (float format)]["1.4"]Adds a gamma correction filter to the image preprocessing pipeline used during OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
