JSON to PDF

Reconstruct PDF documents from JSON files that were previously created by BentoPDF's PDF to JSON tool. This is a round-trip conversion tool -- it takes the structured JSON representation of a PDF and rebuilds the original document.

::: warning This tool only accepts JSON files produced by BentoPDF's PDF to JSON converter. Standard JSON files from APIs, databases, or other tools are not supported. :::

Supported Formats

Input	Description
.json	JSON files exported by BentoPDF's PDF to JSON tool

How It Works

1. Click the upload area or drag and drop one or more JSON files.
2. The file list shows each selected file with its size.
3. Click Convert to PDF. The tool processes all files using a Web Worker and the CPDF engine.
4. The output downloads as jsons-to-pdf.zip containing one PDF per input JSON file.

The conversion runs in a background Web Worker, so the UI remains responsive even with large files.

Options

This tool has no configurable options. The JSON structure fully determines the output PDF.

Output

When converting multiple JSON files, results are delivered as a ZIP archive. Each PDF is named after its source JSON file (e.g., report.json becomes report.pdf).

Use Cases

• Restoring PDFs from a JSON-based backup or archival pipeline
• Round-tripping a PDF through JSON for inspection and then back to PDF
• Rebuilding documents after programmatic modifications to the JSON structure
• Verifying that a PDF-to-JSON export captured all document content by converting it back

Tips

• If you need to convert arbitrary JSON data (like API responses or config files) into a formatted PDF, the Text to PDF tool is a better fit. Paste the JSON as text and it will be rendered with proper formatting.
• The CPDF WebAssembly engine must be available for this tool to work. Self-hosted instances need the CPDF WASM files configured.
