Problem

Teams need to know whether a PDF is standards-ready, suspicious, malformed, or safe to archive before they mutate it.

Use

Run read-only inspections and standards checks that return findings, verdicts, and exportable evidence.

Evidence plan

What this unlocks

  • Detect parser mismatches across engines
  • Inspect without modifying the source document
  • Best package access keeps the path explicit

Common use cases

  • Investigate malformed PDFs
  • Detect parser confusion risks
  • Support security review of unusual files

Workflow steps

  1. 1Run the diff scan on the selected file
  2. 2Review mismatched structures and warnings
  3. 3Route to sanitize, canonical rewrite, or manual review

Outputs

  • Findings report
  • Risk or standards verdict
  • Evidence bundle

Review checks

  • Group findings by severity
  • Route failures into remediation tools
  • Attach reports to audit or review records

API

Endpoint family: /v1/forensics, /v1/preflight, /v1/reports
POST/v1/documents/uploadPOST/v1/ocr/{document_id}GET/v1/jobs/{job_id}/downloadGET/v1/forensics/{document_id}/standards-preflightPOST/v1/forensics/{document_id}GET/v1/forensics/{document_id}/evidence-bundle
  • Forensics and validation tools typically return reports and findings instead of mutating source files.
  • Use /v1/forensics and related report endpoints for headless evidence collection.
