You are absolutely right - we are thinking along the same lines. The only reason why we are offering TXT/IMG as output formats next to PDF/HTML is the fact that some people will have their own composite document formats and they can build those out of TXT/IMG.

Thanks for asking. The main difference is focus on depth instead of breadth - thus instead of multitude of possible output formats support only few (PDF/HTML/TXT/IMG), but with some added features. Just few examples:
- bulk search and autoredactions (marking / blacking out parts of documents that match certain queries)
- signature and handwriting detection
- tokenization (for TXT output)
- language detection (for TXT/PDF output)
- named entity detection (for TXT/PDF output)
Potential customers are people developing systems for GDPR (data protection), fraud detection, eDiscovery and content management.
Ask HN: Service to convert between different document formats
Hey HN guys and girls,We are working on SaaS API to convert between different document formats (e.g. Excel/CAD/Email/whatever to PDF/TXT). I am wondering: which conversions pairs (source format / destination format) are of interest to you and why?Thank you!
