Convert PDF to JSON CSLJSON

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file extension created by Adobe Systems in 1993 to facilitate document exchange across different systems. PDFs preserve the formatting of source documents, making them ideal for sharing text, images, and graphics in a consistent manner. Commonly used for forms, manuals, e-books, and reports, PDF files are platform-independent, ensuring the content appears the same on various devices and operating systems. This versatility has solidified its status as a standard in digital documentation, enhancing both compatibility and security in file sharing.

The JSON file extension, associated with CSL JSON (Citation Style Language JSON), is used to store and exchange bibliographic data. Commonly utilized in academic publishing and reference management tools, it allows for standardized citation and bibliography formatting. Originating from the need for a universal citation format in the early 2000s, CSL JSON has been widely adopted for its efficiency in organizing and sharing scholarly references. The format leverages the JSON structure for simplicity and compatibility across different systems.
