Problem
Many professionals receive schedules, deadlines, or appointment lists as PDF documents or scanned images, requiring manual entry of each date into a calendar. This process is time‑consuming and prone to transcription errors, especially when handling multiple events.
Solution
PDF to Calendar is a browser‑based service that lets users upload PDF or image files and automatically extracts date information to generate Google Calendar events. The platform applies optical character recognition and date‑pattern parsing to identify event titles, dates, times, and optional details. Detected events are presented in a preview where users can adjust any fields before confirming. Upon approval, the service creates the events directly in the user’s Google Calendar via secure OAuth authentication, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Because the tool runs entirely online, no installation or local software is required, and uploaded files are deleted after processing to protect privacy.
Target Audience
Primary users are office workers, project managers, educators, and students who regularly receive schedules or deadlines in PDF or scanned image form and need to populate Google Calendar quickly.
