# Nutrient Document Processing

> **Note:** This skill integrates with the Nutrient commercial API. Review their terms before use.

Process documents with the [Nutrient DWS Processor API](https://www.nutrient.io/api/). Convert formats, extract text and tables, OCR scanned documents, redact PII, add watermarks, digitally sign, and fill PDF forms.

## Setup

Get a free API key at **[nutrient.io](https://dashboard.nutrient.io/sign_up/?product=processor)**

```bash
export NUTRIENT_API_KEY="pdf_live_..."
```

All requests go to `https://api.nutrient.io/build` as multipart POST with an `instructions` JSON field.

## Operations

### Convert Documents

```bash
# DOCX to PDF
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.docx=@document.docx" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.docx"}]}' \
  -o output.pdf

# PDF to DOCX
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.pdf=@document.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"output":{"type":"docx"}}' \
  -o output.docx

# HTML to PDF
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "index.html=@index.html" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"html":"index.html"}]}' \
  -o output.pdf
```

Supported inputs: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, DOC, XLS, PPT, PPS, PPSX, ODT, RTF, HTML, JPG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, GIF, WebP, SVG, TGA, EPS.

### Extract Text and Data

```bash
# Extract plain text
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.pdf=@document.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"output":{"type":"text"}}' \
  -o output.txt

# Extract tables as Excel
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.pdf=@document.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"output":{"type":"xlsx"}}' \
  -o tables.xlsx
```

### OCR Scanned Documents

```bash
# OCR to searchable PDF (supports 100+ languages)
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "scanned.pdf=@scanned.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"scanned.pdf"}],"actions":[{"type":"ocr","language":"english"}]}' \
  -o searchable.pdf
```

Languages: Supports 100+ languages via ISO 639-2 codes (e.g., `eng`, `deu`, `fra`, `spa`, `jpn`, `kor`, `chi_sim`, `chi_tra`, `ara`, `hin`, `rus`). Full language names like `english` or `german` also work. See the [complete OCR language table](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-engine/ocr/language-support/) for all supported codes.

### Redact Sensitive Information

```bash
# Pattern-based (SSN, email)
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.pdf=@document.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"actions":[{"type":"redaction","strategy":"preset","strategyOptions":{"preset":"social-security-number"}},{"type":"redaction","strategy":"preset","strategyOptions":{"preset":"email-address"}}]}' \
  -o redacted.pdf

# Regex-based
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.pdf=@document.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"actions":[{"type":"redaction","strategy":"regex","strategyOptions":{"regex":"\\b[A-Z]{2}\\d{6}\\b"}}]}' \
  -o redacted.pdf
```

Presets: `social-security-number`, `email-address`, `credit-card-number`, `international-phone-number`, `north-american-phone-number`, `date`, `time`, `url`, `ipv4`, `ipv6`, `mac-address`, `us-zip-code`, `vin`.

### Add Watermarks

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \

  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"actions":[{"type":"watermark","text":"CONFIDENTIAL","fontSize":72,"opacity":0.3,"rotation":-45}]}' \
  -o watermarked.pdf
```

### Digital Signatures

```bash
# Self-signed CMS signature
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "document.pdf=@document.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"document.pdf"}],"actions":[{"type":"sign","signatureType":"cms"}]}' \
  -o signed.pdf
```

### Fill PDF Forms

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.nutrient.io/build \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NUTRIENT_API_KEY" \
  -F "form.pdf=@form.pdf" \
  -F 'instructions={"parts":[{"file":"form.pdf"}],"actions":[{"type":"fillForm","formFields":{"name":"Jane Smith","email":"jane@example.com","date":"2026-02-06"}}]}' \
  -o filled.pdf
```

## MCP Server (Alternative)

For native tool integration, use the MCP server instead of curl:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nutrient-dws": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@nutrient-sdk/dws-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NUTRIENT_DWS_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "SANDBOX_PATH": "/path/to/working/directory"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## When to Use

- Converting documents between formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, images)
- Extracting text, tables, or key-value pairs from PDFs
- OCR on scanned documents or images
- Redacting PII before sharing documents
- Adding watermarks to drafts or confidential documents
