 ## Quick Start
 
 ### Basic Extraction
 
+Extract text, metadata, and structure from any supported document format:
+
 ```typescript
 import { extractFileSync } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-// Synchronous extraction
-const result = extractFileSync('document.pdf');
+const config = {
+	useCache: true,
+	enableQualityProcessing: true,
+};
+
+const result = extractFileSync('document.pdf', null, config);
+
 console.log(result.content);
-console.log(result.metadata);
+console.log(`MIME Type: ${result.mimeType}`);
 ```
 
-### Async Extraction (Recommended)
+
+### Common Use Cases
+
+#### Extract with Custom Configuration
+
+Most use cases benefit from configuration to control extraction behavior:
+
+
+**With OCR (for scanned documents):**
 
 ```typescript
 import { extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-// Asynchronous extraction
-const result = await extractFile('document.pdf');
+const config = {
+	ocr: {
+		backend: 'tesseract',
+		language: 'eng+fra',
+		tesseractConfig: {
+			psm: 3,
+		},
+	},
+};
+
+const result = await extractFile('document.pdf', null, config);
 console.log(result.content);
-console.log(result.tables);
 ```
 
-### With Full Type Safety
 
-```typescript
-import {
-  extractFile,
-  type ExtractionConfig,
-  type ExtractionResult
-} from '@kreuzberg/node';
-
-const config: ExtractionConfig = {
-  useCache: true,
-  enableQualityProcessing: true
-};
 
-const result: ExtractionResult = await extractFile('invoice.pdf', config);
 
-// Type-safe access to all properties
-console.log(result.content);
-console.log(result.mimeType);
-console.log(result.metadata);
+#### Table Extraction
+
 
-if (result.tables) {
-  for (const table of result.tables) {
-    console.log(table.markdown);
-  }
+```typescript
+import { extractFileSync } from '@kreuzberg/node';
+
+const result = extractFileSync('document.pdf');
+
+for (const table of result.tables) {
+	console.log(`Table with ${table.cells.length} rows`);
+	console.log(`Page: ${table.pageNumber}`);
+	console.log(table.markdown);
 }
 ```
 
-## Configuration
 
-### OCR Configuration
 
-```typescript
-import { extractFile, type ExtractionConfig, type OcrConfig } from '@kreuzberg/node';
-
-const config: ExtractionConfig = {
-  ocr: {
-    backend: 'tesseract',
-    language: 'eng',
-    tesseractConfig: {
-      enableTableDetection: true,
-      psm: 6,
-      minConfidence: 50.0
-    }
-  } as OcrConfig
-};
 
-const result = await extractFile('scanned.pdf', config);
-console.log(result.content);
-```
+#### Processing Multiple Files
 
-### PDF Password Protection
 
 ```typescript
-import { extractFile, type PdfConfig } from '@kreuzberg/node';
+import { batchExtractFilesSync } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const config = {
-  pdfOptions: {
-    passwords: ['password1', 'password2'],
-    extractImages: true,
-    extractMetadata: true
-  } as PdfConfig
-};
+const files = ['doc1.pdf', 'doc2.docx', 'doc3.pptx'];
+const results = batchExtractFilesSync(files);
 
-const result = await extractFile('protected.pdf', config);
+results.forEach((result, i) => {
+	console.log(`File ${i + 1}: ${result.content.length} characters`);
+});
 ```
 
-### Extract Tables
+
+
+
+
+#### Async Processing
+
+For non-blocking document processing:
 
 ```typescript
 import { extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const result = await extractFile('financial-report.pdf');
+const result = await extractFile('document.pdf');
+console.log(result.content);
+```
 
-if (result.tables) {
-  for (const table of result.tables) {
-    console.log('Table as Markdown:');
-    console.log(table.markdown);
 
-    console.log('Table cells:');
-    console.log(JSON.stringify(table.cells, null, 2));
-  }
-}
-```
 
-### Text Chunking
 
-```typescript
-import { extractFile, type ChunkingConfig } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const config = {
-  chunking: {
-    maxChars: 1000,
-    maxOverlap: 200
-  } as ChunkingConfig
-};
+#### Configuration Discovery
 
-const result = await extractFile('long-document.pdf', config);
+```typescript
+import { ExtractionConfig, extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-if (result.chunks) {
-  for (const chunk of result.chunks) {
-    console.log(`Chunk ${chunk.index}: ${chunk.text.substring(0, 100)}...`);
-  }
+const config = ExtractionConfig.discover();
+if (config) {
+  console.log('Found configuration file');
+  const result = await extractFile('document.pdf', null, config);
+  console.log(result.content);
+} else {
+  console.log('No configuration file found, using defaults');
+  const result = await extractFile('document.pdf');
+  console.log(result.content);
 }
 ```
 
-### Language Detection
+
+
+
+
+#### Worker Thread Pool
 
 ```typescript
-import { extractFile, type LanguageDetectionConfig } from '@kreuzberg/node';
+import { createWorkerPool, extractFileInWorker, batchExtractFilesInWorker, closeWorkerPool } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const config = {
-  languageDetection: {
-    enabled: true,
-    minConfidence: 0.8,
-    detectMultiple: false
-  } as LanguageDetectionConfig
-};
+// Create a pool with 4 worker threads
+const pool = createWorkerPool(4);
 
-const result = await extractFile('multilingual.pdf', config);
+try {
+  // Extract single file in worker
+  const result = await extractFileInWorker(pool, 'document.pdf', null, {
+    useCache: true
+  });
+  console.log(result.content);
 
-if (result.language) {
-  console.log(`Detected language: ${result.language.code}`);
-  console.log(`Confidence: ${result.language.confidence}`);
+  // Extract multiple files concurrently
+  const files = ['doc1.pdf', 'doc2.docx', 'doc3.xlsx'];
+  const results = await batchExtractFilesInWorker(pool, files, {
+    useCache: true
+  });
+
+  results.forEach((result, i) => {
+    console.log(`File ${i + 1}: ${result.content.length} characters`);
+  });
+} finally {
+  // Always close the pool when done
+  await closeWorkerPool(pool);
 }
 ```
 
-### Image Extraction
 
-```typescript
-import { extractFile, type ImageExtractionConfig } from '@kreuzberg/node';
-import { writeFile } from 'fs/promises';
+**Performance Benefits:**
+- **Parallel Processing**: Multiple documents extracted simultaneously
+- **CPU Utilization**: Maximizes multi-core CPU usage for large batches
+- **Queue Management**: Automatically distributes work across available workers
+- **Resource Control**: Prevents thread exhaustion with configurable pool size
 
-const config = {
-  images: {
-    extractImages: true,
-    targetDpi: 300,
-    maxImageDimension: 4096,
-    autoAdjustDpi: true
-  } as ImageExtractionConfig
-};
+**Best Practices:**
+- Use worker pools for batches of 10+ documents
+- Set pool size to number of CPU cores (default behavior)
+- Always close pools with `closeWorkerPool()` to prevent resource leaks
+- Reuse pools across multiple batch operations for efficiency
 
-const result = await extractFile('document-with-images.pdf', config);
 
-if (result.images) {
-  for (let i = 0; i < result.images.length; i++) {
-    const image = result.images[i];
-    await writeFile(`image-${i}.${image.format}`, Buffer.from(image.data));
-  }
-}
-```

-## Advanced Usage
 
-### Extract from Buffer
+## NAPI-RS Implementation Details
 
-```typescript
-import { extractBytes } from '@kreuzberg/node';
-import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';
+### Native Performance
 
-const buffer = await readFile('document.pdf');
-const result = await extractBytes(buffer, 'application/pdf');
-console.log(result.content);
-```
+This binding uses NAPI-RS to provide native Node.js bindings with:
 
-### Batch Processing
+- **Zero-copy data transfer** between JavaScript and Rust layers
+- **Native thread pool** for concurrent document processing
+- **Direct memory management** for efficient large document handling
+- **Binary-compatible** pre-built native modules across platforms
 
-```typescript
-import { batchExtractFiles } from '@kreuzberg/node';
+### Threading Model
 
-const files = [
-  'document1.pdf',
-  'document2.docx',
-  'document3.xlsx'
-];
+- Single documents are processed synchronously or asynchronously in a dedicated thread
+- Batch operations distribute work across available CPU cores
+- Thread count is configurable but defaults to system CPU count
+- Long-running extractions block the event loop unless using async APIs
 
-const results = await batchExtractFiles(files);
+### Memory Management
 
-for (const result of results) {
-  console.log(`${result.mimeType}: ${result.content.length} characters`);
-}
-```
+- Large documents (> 100 MB) are streamed to avoid loading entirely into memory
+- Temporary files are created in system temp directory for extraction
+- Memory is automatically released after extraction completion
+- ONNX models are cached in memory for repeated embeddings operations
 
-### Batch Processing with Custom Concurrency
 
-```typescript
-import { batchExtractFiles } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const config = {
-  maxConcurrentExtractions: 4  // Process 4 files at a time
-};
+## Features
 
-const files = Array.from({ length: 20 }, (_, i) => `file-${i}.pdf`);
-const results = await batchExtractFiles(files, config);
+### Supported File Formats (56+)
 
-console.log(`Processed ${results.length} files`);
-```
+56 file formats across 8 major categories with intelligent format detection and comprehensive metadata extraction.

+## OCR Support
 
-### Memory Issues with Large PDFs
+Kreuzberg supports multiple OCR backends for extracting text from scanned documents and images:
 
-For very large PDFs, use chunking to reduce memory usage:
+
+- **Tesseract**
+
+- **Guten**
+
+
+### OCR Configuration Example
 
 ```typescript
+import { extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
+
 const config = {
-  chunking: { maxChars: 1000 }
+	ocr: {
+		backend: 'tesseract',
+		language: 'eng+fra',
+		tesseractConfig: {
+			psm: 3,
+		},
+	},
 };
-const result = await extractFile('large.pdf', config);
+
+const result = await extractFile('document.pdf', null, config);
+console.log(result.content);
 ```
 
-### TypeScript Types Not Resolving
 
-Make sure you're using:
-- Node.js 18 or higher
-- TypeScript 5.0 or higher
 
-The package includes built-in type definitions.
 
-### Performance Optimization
+## Async Support
 
-For maximum performance when processing many files:
+This binding provides full async/await support for non-blocking document processing:
 
 ```typescript
-// Use batch processing instead of sequential
-const results = await batchExtractFiles(files, {
-  maxConcurrentExtractions: 8  // Tune based on CPU cores
-});
+import { extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
+
+const result = await extractFile('document.pdf');
+console.log(result.content);
 ```
 
-## Examples
 
-### Extract Invoice Data
 
-```typescript
-import { extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const result = await extractFile('invoice.pdf');
+## Plugin System
 
-// Access tables for line items
-if (result.tables && result.tables.length > 0) {
-  const lineItems = result.tables[0];
-  console.log(lineItems.markdown);
-}
+Kreuzberg supports extensible post-processing plugins for custom text transformation and filtering.
 
-// Access metadata for invoice details
-if (result.metadata) {
-  console.log('Invoice Date:', result.metadata.creationDate);
-}
-```
+For detailed plugin documentation, visit [Plugin System Guide](https://kreuzberg.dev/plugins/).
 
-### Process Scanned Documents
 
-```typescript
-import { extractFile } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-const config = {
-  forceOcr: true,
-  ocr: {
-    backend: 'tesseract',
-    language: 'eng',
-    preprocessing: true
-  }
-};
 
-const result = await extractFile('scanned-contract.pdf', config);
-console.log(result.content);
-```
+## Embeddings Support
+
+Generate vector embeddings for extracted text using the built-in ONNX Runtime support. Requires ONNX Runtime installation.
 
-### Build a Document Search Index
+**[Embeddings Guide](https://kreuzberg.dev/features/#embeddings)**
+
+
+
+## Batch Processing
+
+Process multiple documents efficiently:
 
 ```typescript
-import { batchExtractFiles } from '@kreuzberg/node';
-import { glob } from 'glob';
+import { batchExtractFilesSync } from '@kreuzberg/node';
 
-// Find all documents
-const files = await glob('documents/**/*.{pdf,docx,xlsx}');
+const files = ['doc1.pdf', 'doc2.docx', 'doc3.pptx'];
+const results = batchExtractFilesSync(files);
 
-// Extract in batches
-const results = await batchExtractFiles(files, {
-  maxConcurrentExtractions: 8,
-  enableQualityProcessing: true
+results.forEach((result, i) => {
+	console.log(`File ${i + 1}: ${result.content.length} characters`);
 });
+```
 
-// Build search index
-const searchIndex = results.map((result, i) => ({
-  path: files[i],
-  content: result.content,
-  metadata: result.metadata
-}));
 
-console.log(`Indexed ${searchIndex.length} documents`);
-```
