Convert PDF to JSON NATIVEAST

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 is used for encoding the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of programming languages in a lightweight, text-based format. It enables efficient data interchange and enhances performance by providing a structured representation of code components. Since its standardization in the early 2000s, JSON has become indispensable in modern web development and software engineering for its simplicity, readability, and compatibility across various programming environments.
