PDF OCR replaces commaPDF

Software Engineer @ Cobbling AI

We are sunsetting commaPDF and rolling out the new PDF OCR experience for every Cobbling AI customer. The upgraded service delivers better recognition accuracy, faster results, and richer structured output while keeping pricing aligned with the existing AdvancedOCR plan.

Why the change?

The document processing landscape has evolved quickly. PDF OCR is built on our latest recognition models and orchestration pipeline, enabling:

  • Higher fidelity extraction for complex layouts, tables, and mathematical content
  • Reduced processing latency across large document batches
  • More consistent Markdown and LaTeX output for downstream automation

What stays the same?

  • Your AdvancedOCR subscription already includes PDF OCR—there is no price increase
  • Existing API keys continue to work without any changes
  • Webhook events (job.created, job.started, job.completed, job.failed) remain available so your integrations stay in sync

What do I need to do?

  • Update any hard-coded commaPDF endpoints to the new api.pdf-ocr.cobbling.ai domain
  • Review the refreshed PDF OCR documentation for the latest workflow and webhook details
  • Remove references to commaPDF in your internal documentation—PDF OCR is now the standard service

We're excited to see what you build with the faster, smarter PDF OCR pipeline. If you have questions or need assistance migrating, please reach out to the Cobbling AI support team.
