Library/tech used for convert document to text

App Building

Hey Retool team,

What's the underlying tech for the Convert documents to text action?

Got a customer asking since the docs say that "[u]nlike other AI actions, Retool parses the PDF directly—no files or text are sent to an AI model".

Would be good to know what library/service is used here under the hood.

Thanks so much!

Hey @mercu, engineer working on Retool AI here.

We use pdfjs-dist under the hood. Let me know if you have other questions!
