v0.3.78

latest

v0.3.78 | Correctness under audit: 144 defects across rendering, text, reading order, files and colour

Sep 8, 20261.8K downloads

v0.3.77

v0.3.77 | Search-index control lands in every first-party binding: `prepare_search()`/`clear_search_index()` (added to the Rust core in 0.3.76 alongside the new per-page search-index cache) can now be called from Python, JavaScript/WASM, Java/Kotlin/Scala/Clojure, Go, Ruby, PHP, Dart, R, Julia, Zig, C#, C++, Swift, Objective-C, and Elixir — not just Rust. `extract_text()`/`to_markdown()`/`to_plain_text()` no longer silently drop `/Artifact`-tagged content (running headers/footers, section identifiers) with no way to opt back in.

Jul 28, 20261.7K downloads

v0.3.76

v0.3.76 | Redaction/editor persistence and rendering-accuracy release: DOM edits and `add_text()` overlays on source-loaded pages now survive `save()` without leaving dangling `/Contents` references; multi-input (DeviceN) Type 0 tint transforms, non-CCITT 1-bit images, and inline images render correctly; CCITT `/ImageMask` XObjects decode instead of misreading compressed data as raw stencil rows; spatial table-cell ownership is corrected at singleton-span and boundary cases; and repeated `search()` calls on the same document are no longer `O(searches × full extraction)`. The Java binding gains PDF/A conversion, completing coverage across every first-party language binding.

Jul 27, 2026493 downloads

v0.3.75

v0.3.75 | Rendering-accuracy and extraction-fidelity release. DeviceCMYK now renders through measured process inks; page rotation (including `/Rotate 270` and negative values) and Separation/DeviceN tint transforms are honoured; inline images and CMYK/CCITT image decoding are corrected; Form-XObject text no longer goes missing; Tagged PDFs can be read in structure order; and a large text-extraction performance pass lands, alongside a dependency modernization (rustybuzz→harfrust, office_oxide 0.1.8).

Jul 23, 2026332 downloads

v0.3.74

v0.3.74 | Scientific and print-era PDF extraction fixes — per-glyph advance now folds `TJ` kerning per the spec so it matches the renderer (poppler/PDFium/pymupdf), fixing word spacing on justified and kerned text; displayed-math tokens no longer fuse into single words, dense LaTeX pages stop being misrouted to OCR, subscript indices stay subscripts, condensed headings and running footers recover their word gaps, stroke-drawn table rules and 90°-rotated pages read correctly, and scanned Hebrew/Arabic OCR layers extract in logical order.

Jul 14, 2026602 downloads

v0.3.73

v0.3.73 | Two independent reading-order sort panics fixed — a non-transitive vertical-CJK (tategaki) column comparator and an oversized-literal lexer overflow — so malformed and scanned PDFs no longer crash extraction instead of returning text.

Jul 6, 2026941 downloads

v0.3.72

v0.3.72 | Rotated-page text extraction & a transitive-dependency security patch — the spatial extractors no longer garble text on rotated pages, and the optional Office-export path clears an untrusted-XML denial-of-service advisory.

Jul 5, 202675 downloads

v0.3.71

v0.3.71 | Spec-alignment & extraction-leadership release — the renderer gains tiling patterns, Type 3 fonts, and mesh shadings; the markdown converter gains first-class tables, images, links, headings, nested lists, running header/footer removal, and footnotes; plus accurate per-glyph coordinates on the word/span APIs, correct PDF/X ICC validation, and a structure-tree parser that no longer drops large trees.

Jul 4, 202657 downloads

v0.3.70

v0.3.70 | Extraction-fidelity release — kerning-split words rejoined in plain text, table/form line cells split consistently regardless of word width, resolved `/BaseFont` names on the span/word APIs, and content-stream order exposed on extracted spans and words.

Jul 2, 2026179 downloads

v0.3.69

v0.3.69 | Language-bindings release — idiomatic bindings for **C++, Swift, Kotlin, Dart, R, Julia, Zig, Scala, Clojure, Objective-C, and Elixir**, each over the stable C ABI, with per-language CI, package-registry publishing, cross-language regression examples, and single-source version management.

Peaked at #68 in the weekly ranking the week of Mar 8, its best in the past year.

Use Cases & Benefits

Provides a fast, reliable PDF library for text extraction, image extraction, markdown conversion, creation, and editing across Rust, Python, WASM, CLI, and MCP server.
Delivers 5× faster performance than leading libraries with 100% pass rate on 3,830 real-world PDFs and zero panics or timeouts.
Use for building retrieval-augmented generation pipelines by converting PDFs to clean Markdown for LLM frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex.
Use for integrating local PDF content extraction into AI assistants via the MCP server for privacy-preserving, high-speed document access.
Ideal for large-scale document processing workflows requiring fast extraction of text, images, forms, and metadata from thousands of PDFs.
