Mistral Parser
Extract text from PDF documents
The Mistral Parse tool provides a powerful way to extract and process content from PDF documents using Mistral's OCR API. This tool leverages advanced optical character recognition to accurately extract text and structure from PDF files, making it easy to incorporate document data into your agent workflows.
With the Mistral Parse tool, you can:
- Extract text from PDFs: Accurately convert PDF content to text, markdown, or JSON formats
- Process PDFs from URLs: Directly extract content from PDFs hosted online by providing their URLs
- Maintain document structure: Preserve formatting, tables, and layout from the original PDFs
- Extract images: Optionally include embedded images from the PDFs
- Select specific pages: Process only the pages you need from multi-page documents
The Mistral Parse tool is particularly useful for scenarios where your agents need to work with PDF content, such as analyzing reports, extracting data from forms, or processing text from scanned documents. It simplifies the process of making PDF content available to your agents, allowing them to work with information stored in PDFs just as easily as with direct text input.
Usage Instructions
Extract text and structure from PDF documents using Mistral's OCR API. Configure processing options and get the content in your preferred format. For URLs, they must be publicly accessible and point to a valid PDF file. Note: Google Drive, Dropbox, and other cloud storage links are not supported; use a direct download URL from a web server instead.
