🦀 Extract text from PDF files.

Primary LanguagePython

🦀 crapdf

Extract text from a PDF file. Uses the lopdf crate. Kind of crappy.

from crapdf import extract, extract_bytes

# Extract from file path
texts: list[str] = extract("file.pdf")

# Extract from bytes
with open("file.pdf", "rb") as f:
    content = f.read()

texts: list[str] = extract_bytes(content)

Performance

Run the benchmarks using bench.py. Make sure to install dev dependencies from requirements-dev.txt.

The overall performance is similar to pypdf.
