FAQ
Do I need an API key to use the Zapier integration?▼
Yes. You'll enter your MiniAIPDF API key once when setting up the Zapier connection. All your Zaps then use that key automatically.
What PDF file size limit applies?▼
The free plan supports files up to 10 MB. Paid plans support up to 100 MB. Async job processing is available for larger files via the /jobs endpoint.
How does the Extract action handle scanned PDFs?▼
The AI extractor works best on text-based PDFs. Scanned PDFs (image-only) need to be OCR'd first. We recommend using an OCR step (e.g. Google Drive OCR) before the MiniAIPDF Extract step.
What happens if the AI can't find a field?▼
Missing fields are returned as null. Your Zap can use Zapier's built-in Filter step to skip records with null values, or use a default value with the Formatter step.
Is there a free tier for Zapier testing?▼
Yes — the MiniAIPDF free plan includes 100 API calls/month at no cost. Perfect for testing your Zaps before upgrading.
