Jetformat

What is Jetformat?

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

By Jetformat

Jetformat is a closed-source Go CLI. Commands are resource verb: word to-pdf, excel get, ppt reorder, pdf merge. You pass a path, the binary validates the input and writes a real output file on the same machine. Office and ordinary PDF processing are local and do not require Microsoft Office or LibreOffice. HTML uses a separate renderer service.

What it supports

  • word to-pdf, excel to-pdf, ppt to-pdf for DOCX, XLSX, PPTX.
  • word: inspect, template, mail-merge, comments, headers, tables, merge, split by section.
  • excel: get, set, recalc, sort, filter, protect.
  • ppt: inspect, reorder, notes, add-text, add-image.
  • pdf to-word (alias of to-docx), plus info, merge, extract, fill, encrypt, annotate, attach, render.
  • html to-pdf for a file, static directory, or URL (beta, needs a renderer service).
  • text, validate, font, emf to-png, xmp info.

What it does not do

Legacy .doc, .xls, .ppt files, macro-enabled files, and OCR are out of scope. It does not create a blank Office file from scratch; start from a template. Text extraction reads existing text layers only.

Why agents use it

The interface is explicit and verifiable. A successful command writes a file and returns exit code 0; a failed command prints an error and nothing is charged. The agent can tell the user exactly what happened.

Next: install the CLI.

Choose a read, edit, or conversion

Goal Example Output
Read existing words text report.docx Text, Markdown, or JSON
Inspect structure word inspect report.docx Structural information
Edit an Office file excel set A changed XLSX
Create fixed-layout output ppt to-pdf PDF pages
Inspect appearance pdf render Page images

Evaluate one workflow

  1. Choose a representative supported source file and keep an original copy.
  2. Validate it and inspect the source features the requested output depends on.
  3. Run the selected write with a new output path, signing in when the operation uses credits.
  4. Inspect the result and record which content or layout checks passed.

A successful conversion establishes that a file was written; it does not prove support for every source feature. Native XLSX and PPTX charts are not rendered yet, and PDF-to-Word does not add OCR. Check the relevant command reference before choosing a tool for a specific document.

For a stated 12-page PDF result, conversion uses 12 credits. Rendering 2 previews adds 2 credits; reading text adds 0 credits. The example counts operations, not elapsed time or guaranteed page counts. Review pricing for how plans and packs supply credits.
