--- ## 🚀 Why RasgaPDF? Most Python PDF extraction libraries make fragile guesses: they flatten multi-column layouts into corrupted text streams, mangle tables, and strip away 2D positional geometry. **RasgaPDF does one thing with uncompromising precision:** It returns the **exact 2D physical spatial geometry** of the PDF directly to Python: - **Exact Bounding Boxes:** Every character, word span, line, block, and table has exact coordinates `[x0, y0, x1, y1]`. - **Zero Lossy Heuristics:** No broken markdown assumptions. Downstream LLMs, RAG pipelines, or vision-language models receive the true physical layout. - **Pure Native Speed:** Powered by a SIMD-parallelized Rust core. Extracts typical pages in **~3 to 8 ms**. - **Self-Contained Wheel:** Pre-compiled native binaries bundled directly in the wheel. Zero external runtime dependencies. --- ## ⚡ Quick Benchmarks (Python) Measured on Intel Core i7-1365U (Single-thread latency, 1-page complex PDF): | Library | Parse Time | Output Type | Spatial Accuracy | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **⚡ RasgaPDF (`parse_raw`)** | **~7.7 ms** | **Flat Coordinates `[x0, y0, x1, y1]`** | **Exact Physical Canvas** | | **🚀 RasgaPDF (`parse_pdf`)** | **~8.5 ms** | **Hierarchical Blocks & Tables** | **Exact Physical Canvas** | | PyMuPDF (`fitz`) | ~28.0 ms | Text / Pixmaps | Bounding Boxes | | `pdfplumber` | ~410.0 ms | Python Dicts | High Overhead | | `pypdf` | ~95.0 ms | Plain String | No Geometry | --- ## 📦 Installation ```bash pip install --upgrade rasgapdf ``` --- ## 💡 Usage RasgaPDF offers two distinct modes for Python engineers: ### ⚡ Mode 1: Raw Physical Coordinates (`parse_raw`) The fastest and most direct extraction possible. Returns a flat list of physical 2D coordinates for every text span on the page, with zero block/table overhead (~3-8 ms): ```python import rasgapdf # Parse raw physical coordinates doc = rasgapdf.parse_raw("document.pdf") print(f"Extracted {doc['total_spans']} spans in {doc['parse_time_ms']:.2f} ms") for span in doc["spans"]: print( f"[Page {span['page']}] " f"bbox=({span['x0']:.2f}, {span['y0']:.2f}, {span['x1']:.2f}, {span['y1']:.2f}) " f"font={span['font_name']} ({span['font_size']}pt) " f"text=\"{span['text']}\"" ) ``` #### Output Structure: ```json { "file_name": "document.pdf", "total_pages": 1, "total_spans": 20, "parse_time_ms": 7.78, "spans": [ { "page": 1, "x0": 50.0, "y0": 67.0, "x1": 244.0, "y1": 83.0, "font_size": 12.0, "font_name": "Helvetica", "text": "The Future of Artificial Intelligence" } ] } ``` --- ### 🎯 Mode 2: Hierarchical Structured Document (`parse_pdf`) Parses the visual hierarchy: paragraphs (`text_blocks`), text lines (`lines`), spans, and auto-detects matrix tables via column alignment: ```python import rasgapdf doc = rasgapdf.parse_pdf("invoice.pdf", detect_tables=True) for page in doc["pages"]: print(f"--- Page {page['page_number']} ({page['width']}x{page['height']} pt) ---") # 1. Inspect Text Blocks for block in page["text_blocks"]: print(f"Block #{block['block_id']} at {block['bbox']}:") for line in block["lines"]: print(f" Line: {line['text']}") # 2. Inspect Detected Tables for table in page["tables"]: print(f"Table ({table['col_count']} cols x {table['row_count']} rows):") print("Headers:", table["headers"]) for row in table["rows"]: print("Row:", row) ``` --- ## ⚙️ Parameters for `parse_pdf` | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `file_path` | `str` | *required* | Path to the PDF file on disk | | `detect_tables` | `bool` | `True` | Automatically detect and reconstruct tables | | `min_table_cols` | `int` | `3` | Minimum number of columns required to classify as a table | | `col_tolerance` | `float` | `16.0` | Horizontal alignment threshold in typographical points | | `row_tolerance` | `float` | `6.0` | Vertical line clustering threshold in points | --- ## 📄 License MIT License.
