## Installation
|
79
|
+
|
80
|
+
```bash
|
81
|
+
pip install natural-pdf
|
82
|
+
```
|
83
|
+
|
84
|
+
or if you're picky...
|
85
|
+
|
86
|
+
```bash
|
87
|
+
# Minimal installation without AI models (faster, smaller)
|
88
|
+
pip install natural-pdf[core]
|
89
|
+
|
90
|
+
# With all OCR engines
|
91
|
+
pip install natural-pdf[easyocr,paddle]
|
92
|
+
```
|
93
|
+
|
94
|
+
## Quick Start
|
95
|
+
|
96
|
+
```python
|
97
|
+
from natural_pdf import PDF
|
98
|
+
|
99
|
+
# Open a PDF
|
100
|
+
pdf = PDF('document.pdf')
|
101
|
+
|
102
|
+
# Get the first page
|
103
|
+
page = pdf.pages[0]
|
104
|
+
|
105
|
+
# Find elements using CSS-like selectors
|
106
|
+
heading = page.find('text:contains("Summary"):bold')
|
107
|
+
|
108
|
+
# Extract content below the heading
|
109
|
+
content = heading.below().extract_text()
|
110
|
+
print(content)
|
111
|
+
|
112
|
+
# Exclude headers and footers
|
113
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find('text:contains("CONFIDENTIAL")').above())
|
114
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find_all('line')[-1].below())
|
115
|
+
|
116
|
+
# Extract clean text
|
117
|
+
clean_text = page.extract_text()
|
118
|
+
print(clean_text)
|
119
|
+
```
|
120
|
+
|
121
|
+
## Selectors
|
122
|
+
|
123
|
+
The library supports CSS-like selectors for finding elements:
|
124
|
+
|
125
|
+
```python
|
126
|
+
# Find text containing a specific string
|
127
|
+
element = page.find('text:contains("Revenue")')
|
128
|
+
|
129
|
+
# Find bold text with a specific font size
|
130
|
+
headings = page.find_all('text[size>=12]:bold')
|
131
|
+
|
132
|
+
# Find thick red lines
|
133
|
+
lines = page.find_all('line[width>=2][color~=(1,0,0)]')
|
134
|
+
```
|
135
|
+
|
136
|
+
## Spatial Navigation
|
137
|
+
|
138
|
+
Navigate through the document with intuitive spatial methods:
|
139
|
+
|
140
|
+
```python
|
141
|
+
# Get content below a heading
|
142
|
+
heading = page.find('text:contains("Introduction")')
|
143
|
+
content = heading.below().extract_text()
|
144
|
+
|
145
|
+
# Get content from one element to another
|
146
|
+
start = page.find('text:contains("Start")')
|
147
|
+
end = page.find('text:contains("End")')
|
148
|
+
region = start.select_until(end)
|
149
|
+
content = region.extract_text()
|
150
|
+
```
|
151
|
+
|
152
|
+
## Exclusion Zones
|
153
|
+
|
154
|
+
Exclude headers, footers, or other areas from extraction:
|
155
|
+
|
156
|
+
```python
|
157
|
+
# Page-level exclusion
|
158
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find('text:contains("Page")').above())
|
159
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find_all('line')[-1].below())
|
160
|
+
|
161
|
+
# PDF-level exclusion with lambdas
|
162
|
+
pdf.add_exclusion(
|
163
|
+
lambda page: page.find('text:contains("Header")').above(),
|
164
|
+
label="headers"
|
165
|
+
)
|
166
|
+
|
167
|
+
# Extract text with exclusions applied
|
168
|
+
text = pdf.extract_text()
|
169
|
+
|
170
|
+
# Extract from a specific region with exclusions
|
171
|
+
summary = page.find('text:contains("Summary")')
|
172
|
+
conclusion = page.find('text:contains("Conclusion")')
|
173
|
+
region = page.create_region(summary.x0, summary.top, conclusion.x1, conclusion.bottom)
|
174
|
+
region_text = region.extract_text(apply_exclusions=True) # Excludes headers/footers
|
175
|
+
|
176
|
+
# Disable exclusions for a specific extraction
|
177
|
+
full_text = page.extract_text(apply_exclusions=False)
|
178
|
+
```
|
179
|
+
|
180
|
+
Exclusions work efficiently with different region types:
|
181
|
+
- Regions without intersection with exclusion zones → exclusions ignored entirely
|
182
|
+
- Rectangular regions with header/footer exclusions → optimized cropping
|
183
|
+
- Complex regions with partial exclusions → advanced filtering with warning
|
184
|
+
|
185
|
+
## OCR Integration
|
186
|
+
|
187
|
+
Extract text from scanned documents using OCR with multiple engine options:
|
188
|
+
|
189
|
+
```python
|
190
|
+
# Using the default EasyOCR engine
|
191
|
+
pdf = PDF('scanned_document.pdf', ocr={
|
192
|
+
'enabled': 'auto', # Only use OCR when necessary
|
193
|
+
'languages': ['en'],
|
194
|
+
'min_confidence': 0.5
|
195
|
+
})
|
196
|
+
|
197
|
+
# Using PaddleOCR for better Asian language support
|
198
|
+
pdf = PDF('scanned_document.pdf',
|
199
|
+
ocr_engine='paddleocr',
|
200
|
+
ocr={
|
201
|
+
'enabled': True,
|
202
|
+
'languages': ['zh-cn', 'en'], # Chinese and English
|
203
|
+
'min_confidence': 0.3,
|
204
|
+
'model_settings': {
|
205
|
+
'use_angle_cls': False, # PaddleOCR-specific setting
|
206
|
+
'rec_batch_num': 6
|
207
|
+
}
|
208
|
+
})
|
209
|
+
|
210
|
+
# Extract text, OCR will be used if needed
|
211
|
+
text = page.extract_text()
|
212
|
+
|
213
|
+
# Force OCR regardless of existing text
|
214
|
+
ocr_text = page.extract_text(ocr=True)
|
215
|
+
|
216
|
+
# Find OCR-detected text with high confidence
|
217
|
+
high_confidence = page.find_all('text[source=ocr][confidence>=0.8]')
|
218
|
+
|
219
|
+
# Visualize OCR results with color-coded confidence levels
|
220
|
+
for elem in page.find_all('text[source=ocr]'):
|
221
|
+
if elem.confidence >= 0.8:
|
222
|
+
color = (0, 1, 0, 0.3) # Green for high confidence
|
223
|
+
elif elem.confidence >= 0.5:
|
224
|
+
color = (1, 1, 0, 0.3) # Yellow for medium confidence
|
225
|
+
else:
|
226
|
+
color = (1, 0, 0, 0.3) # Red for low confidence
|
227
|
+
|
228
|
+
elem.highlight(color=color, label=f"OCR ({elem.confidence:.2f})")
|
229
|
+
page.save_image('ocr_results.png', labels=True)
|
230
|
+
```
|
231
|
+
|
232
|
+
## Logging
|
233
|
+
|
234
|
+
The library includes a structured logging system to provide visibility into its operations:
|
235
|
+
|
236
|
+
```python
|
237
|
+
import logging
|
238
|
+
from natural_pdf import PDF, configure_logging
|
239
|
+
|
240
|
+
# Configure logging with INFO level to console
|
241
|
+
configure_logging(level=logging.INFO)
|
242
|
+
|
243
|
+
# Or log to a file with DEBUG level
|
244
|
+
file_handler = logging.FileHandler("natural_pdf.log")
|
245
|
+
file_handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'))
|
246
|
+
configure_logging(level=logging.DEBUG, handler=file_handler)
|
247
|
+
|
248
|
+
# Now operations will generate logs
|
249
|
+
pdf = PDF("document.pdf")
|
250
|
+
# Log: natural_pdf.core.pdf - INFO - Initializing PDF from document.pdf
|
251
|
+
|
252
|
+
# Run layout detection with verbose logging
|
253
|
+
regions = pdf.pages[0].analyze_layout(
|
254
|
+
model="paddle",
|
255
|
+
model_params={"verbose": True}
|
256
|
+
)
|
257
|
+
# Log: natural_pdf.analyzers.layout.paddle - INFO - Starting PaddleLayout detection...
|
258
|
+
# Log: natural_pdf.analyzers.layout.paddle - DEBUG - Parameters: confidence=0.2...
|
259
|
+
```
|
260
|
+
|
261
|
+
Logs follow a hierarchical structure matching the library's module organization:
|
262
|
+
- `natural_pdf.core` - Core PDF operations
|
263
|
+
- `natural_pdf.analyzers` - Layout analysis operations
|
264
|
+
- `natural_pdf.ocr` - OCR engine operations
|
265
|

|
33
|
+
# Minimal installation without AI models (faster, smaller)
|
34
|
+
pip install natural-pdf[core]
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
# With all OCR engines
|
37
|
+
pip install natural-pdf[easyocr,paddle]
|
38
|
+
```
|
39
|
+
|
40
|
+
## Quick Start
|
41
|
+
|
42
|
+
```python
|
43
|
+
from natural_pdf import PDF
|
44
|
+
|
45
|
+
# Open a PDF
|
46
|
+
pdf = PDF('document.pdf')
|
47
|
+
|
48
|
+
# Get the first page
|
49
|
+
page = pdf.pages[0]
|
50
|
+
|
51
|
+
# Find elements using CSS-like selectors
|
52
|
+
heading = page.find('text:contains("Summary"):bold')
|
53
|
+
|
54
|
+
# Extract content below the heading
|
55
|
+
content = heading.below().extract_text()
|
56
|
+
print(content)
|
57
|
+
|
58
|
+
# Exclude headers and footers
|
59
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find('text:contains("CONFIDENTIAL")').above())
|
60
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find_all('line')[-1].below())
|
61
|
+
|
62
|
+
# Extract clean text
|
63
|
+
clean_text = page.extract_text()
|
64
|
+
print(clean_text)
|
65
|
+
```
|
66
|
+
|
67
|
+
## Selectors
|
68
|
+
|
69
|
+
The library supports CSS-like selectors for finding elements:
|
70
|
+
|
71
|
+
```python
|
72
|
+
# Find text containing a specific string
|
73
|
+
element = page.find('text:contains("Revenue")')
|
74
|
+
|
75
|
+
# Find bold text with a specific font size
|
76
|
+
headings = page.find_all('text[size>=12]:bold')
|
77
|
+
|
78
|
+
# Find thick red lines
|
79
|
+
lines = page.find_all('line[width>=2][color~=(1,0,0)]')
|
80
|
+
```
|
81
|
+
|
82
|
+
## Spatial Navigation
|
83
|
+
|
84
|
+
Navigate through the document with intuitive spatial methods:
|
85
|
+
|
86
|
+
```python
|
87
|
+
# Get content below a heading
|
88
|
+
heading = page.find('text:contains("Introduction")')
|
89
|
+
content = heading.below().extract_text()
|
90
|
+
|
91
|
+
# Get content from one element to another
|
92
|
+
start = page.find('text:contains("Start")')
|
93
|
+
end = page.find('text:contains("End")')
|
94
|
+
region = start.select_until(end)
|
95
|
+
content = region.extract_text()
|
96
|
+
```
|
97
|
+
|
98
|
+
## Exclusion Zones
|
99
|
+
|
100
|
+
Exclude headers, footers, or other areas from extraction:
|
101
|
+
|
102
|
+
```python
|
103
|
+
# Page-level exclusion
|
104
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find('text:contains("Page")').above())
|
105
|
+
page.add_exclusion(page.find_all('line')[-1].below())
|
106
|
+
|
107
|
+
# PDF-level exclusion with lambdas
|
108
|
+
pdf.add_exclusion(
|
109
|
+
lambda page: page.find('text:contains("Header")').above(),
|
110
|
+
label="headers"
|
111
|
+
)
|
112
|
+
|
113
|
+
# Extract text with exclusions applied
|
114
|
+
text = pdf.extract_text()
|
115
|
+
|
116
|
+
# Extract from a specific region with exclusions
|
117
|
+
summary = page.find('text:contains("Summary")')
|
118
|
+
conclusion = page.find('text:contains("Conclusion")')
|
119
|
+
region = page.create_region(summary.x0, summary.top, conclusion.x1, conclusion.bottom)
|
120
|
+
region_text = region.extract_text(apply_exclusions=True) # Excludes headers/footers
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
# Disable exclusions for a specific extraction
|
123
|
+
full_text = page.extract_text(apply_exclusions=False)
|
124
|
+
```
|
125
|
+
|
126
|
+
Exclusions work efficiently with different region types:
|
127
|
+
- Regions without intersection with exclusion zones → exclusions ignored entirely
|
128
|
+
- Rectangular regions with header/footer exclusions → optimized cropping
|
129
|
+
- Complex regions with partial exclusions → advanced filtering with warning
|
130
|
+
|
131
|

|
132
|

|
177

## Logging
|
179
|
+
|
180
|
+
The library includes a structured logging system to provide visibility into its operations:
|
181
|
+
|
182
|
+
```python
|
183
|
+
import logging
|
184
|
+
from natural_pdf import PDF, configure_logging
|
185
|
+
|
186
|
+
# Configure logging with INFO level to console
|
187
|
+
configure_logging(level=logging.INFO)
|
188
|
+
|
189
|
+
# Or log to a file with DEBUG level
|
190
|
+
file_handler = logging.FileHandler("natural_pdf.log")
|
191
|
+
file_handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'))
|
192
|
+
configure_logging(level=logging.DEBUG, handler=file_handler)
|
193
|

|
194
|
