Description	PDF – is a cross-platform extension necessary for the visualization of printed materials in electronic form. It is developed by Adobe Systems using separate PostScript resources. PDF documents can exist separately from the OS or hardware tools with which they were developed. Files of this format do not have restrictions on the length, several types, and image options, as they allow you to embed various multimedia tools, scan-line, and vector images. They are supported by Adobe Reader and many browsers, providing the plugin is installed.
Technical details	PDF supports color models CMYK, RGB, shades of gray, and also it has its technical formats for performing the exchange of finished documents.

File extension	.xml
File category	documents
Description	XML is a file format that holds a markup language. Both humans and machines can access this file format. It is designed to store data. Here one can use languages independently and can set his tag. It is portable enough and has enough vendor independence, which has introduced this format as a user-friendly format and made this format very popular on the online platform. XML is essential, like HTML.
Technical details	Every XML file owns a root structure by which users can set their tags. Every single XML file begins with XML declaration. XML declaration has its version name and encoding of that specific file. After that, a base element called the root element is defined. The root element may have child elements. All tags have their ending tag. XML files may carry comments, entity references, and attributes. Applications can read the values and display the users want.

Why Convert PDF to XML?

The PDF file format is convenient for visualizing & sharing data. But PDFs are not machine readable! The data contained in PDFs isn’t structured in a format that computers can “read” or “understand”.

Converting a PDF to XML or any other structured format (CSV, JSON, Excel etc.) allows computers to process data easily. This is especially crucial for organizations that look to embrace end-to-end digital workflows.

This article covers various options to convert PDF to XML. It also touches upon the structural merits of the XML format as well as challenges in converting PDFs to XML.

What is XML & Why Convert PDF to XML

XML or Extensible Markup Language is a popular text-based markup language. It defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is accessible (readable) to machines (computers) as well as humans.

The XML format provides a tag hierarchy to store, identify & organize data. Users can define their own tags & hierarchy; nothing is predefined. XML is widely used in web applications & text/word processors to define document structures.

Developers, web designers or database engineers often receive data as PDF files. While PDFs ensure a standard of visualization across any device, they are not machine readable! Converting a PDF document to XML provides structure & hierarchy to an otherwise “flat” document. Data can be ordered & defined with tags to facilitate convenient processing by computers.

PDF to XML conversion allows businesses to digitize & automate document processing workflows to a great extent.

How to convert PDF to XML

Converting a PDF document to XML requires pulling information from the document and then assigning appropriate tags to structure the extracted data in the XML syntax. Here are your options:

One could manually copy the PDF data and edit it to fit the XML syntax.
- Attempting to extract and organize the data manually would be inefficient. It would also be time-consuming, error-prone and impossible to scale.
Luckily there are numerous online PDF to XML (or PDF to tables) converters that do a decent job such as PDFTables, FreeFileConvert & AConvert.
- While the conversion is quite accurate, such tools can’t handle complex PDFs, large volumes & batch processing of documents. And they are usually not automated, thus requiring considerable manual effort to function in organizational use cases.
Intelligent document processing (IDP) software, like Nanonets, offer the most effective, accurate & scalable solution for a fully automated PDF to XML converter. IDP software like Nanonets leverage OCR, AI & ML capabilities to extract data from PDFs & other documents autonomously.
- This is unlike most template-based OCR software that require users to define areas of interest for each document with a different layout.
