I’ll walk through the typical kinds of features you might want, the tools that can get them, and a ready‑to‑run Python snippet (plus a few command‑line alternatives) so you can start extracting right away. | Category | Typical Features | Why they’re useful | |----------|------------------|--------------------| | Metadata | Title, author, creation/modification dates, producer, PDF version, number of pages, subject, keywords | Quick bibliographic info; helps with indexing, deduplication, compliance | | Structural | Table of contents, headings hierarchy, page numbers, bookmarks, sections, paragraph breaks | Re‑creates the document outline; useful for navigation, summarisation, or building a search index | | Textual | Full‑text extraction, word‑frequency counts, named entities (people/places/orgs), key phrases, language detection | Core content for search, NLP, summarisation, sentiment analysis | | Layout | Location (x, y coordinates) of each text block, fonts, font sizes, colors, line spacing | Enables reconstruction of the original layout, detecting headings, footnotes, captions | | Tabular | All tables (cell‑by‑cell data), table captions, table bounding boxes | Essential for data mining, financial reports, scientific results | | Visual | Embedded images (raster & vector), image captions, image dimensions, DPI, color model | For image‑based analysis, OCR, checking for diagrams, extracting figures | | Annotations | Highlights, comments, sticky notes, form fields, signatures | Useful for reviewing workflows, compliance checks | | Embedded Files | Attachments, embedded spreadsheets, PDFs, ZIPs | May contain supplemental data | | OCR (if scanned) | Recognised text from images, confidence scores | Turns a scanned PDF into searchable text | agnibina filetype.pdf
# Optionally re-run the extraction on the OCR’d file # (You could replace the original path with ocr_output for downstream steps)
You can pick and choose which of those you need; the code examples below let you toggle them on/off. | Feature | Recommended Library / CLI | Pros | Cons / Gotchas | |---------|---------------------------|------|----------------| | Basic metadata & text | PyPDF2 , pdfminer.six | Pure‑Python, no external dependencies | Struggles with complex layouts, no OCR | | Robust text + layout | pdfplumber (wraps pdfminer ) | Gives you bounding‑box coordinates, easy table extraction | Slower on huge PDFs | | Tables | tabula-py (Java), camelot | Detects table borders, outputs to DataFrames/CSV | Needs Java (tabula) or Ghostscript (camelot) | | Images & embedded files | pdfminer.six (low‑level), pymupdf (aka fitz ) | Fast, easy extraction of images & attachments | pymupdf is C‑based, needs binary wheels | | Full‑featured OCR | pdf2image + pytesseract , or ocrmypdf | Handles scanned PDFs end‑to‑end | Requires Tesseract OCR + poppler; slower | | Metadata & advanced content | Apache Tika (via tika-python ) | Handles many MIME types, auto‑detects language, OCR via Tesseract | Requires a Java runtime; heavier | | Command‑line quick‑look | exiftool , pdfinfo (poppler), mutool (MuPDF) | Great for batch scripts, no Python needed | Limited to what each tool exposes | | Deep NLP (NER, summarisation) | Hugging Face Transformers ( layoutlmv3 , pdfbert ) | Understands layout‑aware entities | Needs GPU for speed, heavier setup | 3. One‑stop Python script (extract most common features) Below is a single, modular script you can drop into a file called extract_agnibina_features.py . It uses only pure‑Python libraries ( pdfplumber , pymupdf ) plus optional OCR ( ocrmypdf ). Feel free to comment out the sections you don’t need.
img_counter = 0 for page_num in tqdm(range(len(doc)), desc="Pages (images)"): page = doc[page_num] img_list = page.get_images(full=True) for img_index, img in enumerate(img_list, start=1): xref = img[0] base_image = doc.extract_image(xref) img_bytes = base_image["image"] img_ext = base_image["ext"] img_name = f"pagepage_num+1:03d_imgimg_index:03d.img_ext" (img_dir / img_name).write_bytes(img_bytes) img_counter += 1 doc.close() print(f"✅ Extracted img_counter images to img_dir") | Feature | Recommended Library / CLI |
