PDF X-Ray: desktop app to parse PDFs, view bookmarks, tags, and layout

notableJavaScript✦ Apps & Productivity

PDF X-Ray lets users open PDF files and instantly extract hierarchical bookmarks and logical structure tags, highlighting whether a PDF is tagged. It runs a custom Recursive XY‑Cut algorithm to segment pages into visual blocks, with interactive overlays and adjustable parameters. The tool synchronizes the visual canvas with a DOM‑like tree, offering an inspector for fonts and layout metrics, and can export the derived structure as JSON, XML, or styled HTML. Ideal for researchers, developers, and anyone needing deep PDF layout insight beyond basic viewers.
