# Rust API Add to your `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] pdf-inspector = { git = "https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector" } ``` ## Usage Detect and extract in one call: ```rust use pdf_inspector::process_pdf; let result = process_pdf("document.pdf")?; println!("Type: {:?}", result.pdf_type); // TextBased, Scanned, ImageBased, Mixed println!("Confidence: {:.0}%", result.confidence * 100.0); println!("Pages: {}", result.page_count); if let Some(markdown) = &result.markdown { println!("{}", markdown); } ``` Fast metadata-only detection (no text extraction or markdown generation): ```rust use pdf_inspector::detect_pdf; let info = detect_pdf("document.pdf")?; match info.pdf_type { pdf_inspector::PdfType::TextBased => { // Extract locally — fast and free } _ => { // Route to OCR service // info.pages_needing_ocr tells you exactly which pages } } ``` Customize processing with `PdfOptions`: ```rust use pdf_inspector::{process_pdf_with_options, PdfOptions, ProcessMode, DetectionConfig, ScanStrategy}; // Analyze layout without generating markdown let result = process_pdf_with_options( "document.pdf", PdfOptions::new().mode(ProcessMode::Analyze), )?; // Full extraction with custom detection strategy let result = process_pdf_with_options( "large.pdf", PdfOptions::new().detection(DetectionConfig { strategy: ScanStrategy::Sample(5), ..Default::default() }), )?; // Process only specific pages let result = process_pdf_with_options( "document.pdf", PdfOptions::new().pages([1, 3, 5]), )?; ``` Process from a byte buffer (no filesystem needed): ```rust use pdf_inspector::process_pdf_mem; let bytes = std::fs::read("document.pdf")?; let result = process_pdf_mem(&bytes)?; ``` Extract per-page Markdown (one string per page, plus document-wide layout metadata): ```rust use pdf_inspector::extract_pages_markdown; // Pass `None` for every page in document order, or a slice of 0-indexed // pages to restrict the output (caller-supplied order is preserved). let result = extract_pages_markdown("document.pdf", None)?; for page in &result.pages { if page.needs_ocr { // Route this page to OCR } else { println!("Page {}: {}", page.page, page.markdown); } } println!("Complex layout? {}", result.is_complex); ``` ## Processing modes | Mode | What it does | Returns | |---|---|---| | `ProcessMode::Full` (default) | Detect + extract + convert to Markdown | Everything populated | | `ProcessMode::Analyze` | Detect + extract + layout analysis (no Markdown) | `markdown` is `None`, `layout` is populated | | `ProcessMode::DetectOnly` | Classification only (fastest) | `markdown` is `None`, `layout` is default | ## Functions | Function | Description | |---|---| | `process_pdf(path)` | Full processing with defaults | | `detect_pdf(path)` | Fast metadata-only detection (no extraction) | | `process_pdf_with_options(path, options)` | Process with custom `PdfOptions` | | `process_pdf_mem(bytes)` | Full processing from a byte buffer | | `detect_pdf_mem(bytes)` | Fast detection from a byte buffer | | `process_pdf_mem_with_options(bytes, options)` | Process from bytes with custom options | | `extract_text(path)` | Plain text extraction | | `extract_text_with_positions(path)` | Text with X/Y coordinates and font info | | `to_markdown(text, options)` | Convert plain text to Markdown | | `to_markdown_from_items(items, options)` | Markdown from pre-extracted `TextItem`s | | `to_markdown_from_items_with_rects(items, options, rects)` | Markdown with rectangle-based table detection | | `extract_pages_markdown(path, pages)` | Per-page Markdown + layout metadata (file) | | `extract_pages_markdown_mem(bytes, pages)` | Per-page Markdown from bytes | Low-level detection functions are also available via the `detector` module (`detect_pdf_type`, `detect_pdf_type_with_config`, etc.) for callers who need `PdfTypeResult` instead of `PdfProcessResult`. ## Types | Type | Description | |---|---| | `PdfOptions` | Builder for processing configuration (mode, detection, markdown, page filter) | | `ProcessMode` | `DetectOnly`, `Analyze`, `Full` | | `PdfType` | `TextBased`, `Scanned`, `ImageBased`, `Mixed` | | `PdfProcessResult` | Full result: pdf_type, markdown, page_count, confidence, layout, has_encoding_issues, timing | | `PdfTypeResult` | Low-level detection result: type, confidence, page count, pages needing OCR | | `DetectionConfig` | Configuration for detection: scan strategy, thresholds | | `ScanStrategy` | `EarlyExit`, `Full`, `Sample(n)`, `Pages(vec)` | | `LayoutComplexity` | Layout analysis: is_complex, pages_with_tables, pages_with_columns | | `TextItem` | Text with position, font info, and page number | | `MarkdownOptions` | Configuration for Markdown formatting (page numbers, etc.) | | `PageMarkdown` | Per-page result: page (0-indexed), markdown, needs_ocr | | `PagesExtractionResult` | Per-page output + 1-indexed pages_with_tables / pages_with_columns / pages_needing_ocr, is_complex | | `PdfError` | `Io`, `Parse`, `Encrypted`, `InvalidStructure`, `NotAPdf` |
