is there a way for Claygent or is there any tool we can use to extract data from given PDF?
Claygent is designed to access and retrieve publicly available data from the internet, but it cannot directly extract data from PDF files. Claygent works by scraping web content and analyzing text from webpages, not processing uploaded documents or files. For data extraction needs, we have the "Extract Values from Data" tool that can extract specific values like email addresses or LinkedIn URLs from text, objects, or lists within Clay. Our native scraper is also effective for structured data collection from webpages and AI-ready text extraction. The Clay Chrome extension can extract structured data from webpages and organize it into tables, but this works with web content rather than PDF files. What type of data are you looking to extract from the PDF, and is the PDF content available on a webpage instead?

what's the best way to convert PDF to Text including filled in information then?
Our tools are designed for web-based data extraction rather than PDF processing. Our native scraper excels at extracting text from webpages, and the "Extract Values from Data" tool can pull specific information like emails or phone numbers from text once you have it. For PDF conversion, you'll need to use external PDF-to-text conversion tools first, then bring that extracted text into Clay for further processing and analysis using our AI-powered transformation capabilities. What specific type of information are you looking to extract from the PDF forms once converted to text?
For PDF-to-text conversion, you'll need external tools since our platform focuses on web-based data extraction. Popular options include: Python-based: ** PDFplumber (text & tables) ** PyMuPDF (fitz) for fast extraction ** Tesseract OCR for scanned PDFs No-code solutions: ** Adobe PDF API (paid, accurate) * PDF.co or Docparser Once converted to text, bring it into Clay where you can use our "Extract Values from Data" tool to pull specific information like emails or phone numbers. You can also leverage AI to clean, format, and structure the extracted data for your workflows.
