What is Jetformat?

Jetformat is the local conversion layer between an AI agent and a real Office or PDF file.

Jetformat is a closed-source Go CLI for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF work. An agent passes a path to the binary; the binary validates the input and writes a real output file on the same machine.

What it supports

  • Office to PDF: DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX.
  • Text: extract an existing text layer from Office or PDF files.
  • Validation: check Office, PDF, font, EMF, and XMP files.
  • PDF tools: inspect, merge, extract contiguous ranges, and render pages.

What it does not do

Jetformat does not support legacy .doc, .xls, or .ppt files, macro-enabled Office files, OCR, or PDF-to-Office conversion. Text extraction is not OCR.

Why agents use it

The interface is explicit and verifiable. A successful command writes a file and returns an exit code; a failed command reports an error. The agent can then tell the user exactly what happened.
