PDFPlumberParser

class langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers.pdf.PDFPlumberParser(text_kwargs: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, dedupe: bool = False, extract_images: bool = False)

Parse PDF with PDFPlumber.

Initialize the parser.

Parameters:

• text_kwargs (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – Keyword arguments to pass to pdfplumber.Page.extract_text()

• dedupe (bool) – Avoiding the error of duplicate characters if dedupe=True.

• extract_images (bool) –

Methods

__init__([text_kwargs, dedupe, extract_images])	Initialize the parser.
lazy_parse(blob)	Lazily parse the blob.
parse(blob)	Eagerly parse the blob into a document or documents.

__init__(text_kwargs: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, dedupe: bool = False, extract_images: bool = False) → None

Initialize the parser.

Parameters:

• text_kwargs (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Keyword arguments to pass to pdfplumber.Page.extract_text()

• dedupe (bool) – Avoiding the error of duplicate characters if dedupe=True.

• extract_images (bool) –

Return type:

None

lazy_parse(blob: Blob) → Iterator[Document]

Lazily parse the blob.

Parameters:

blob (Blob) –

Return type:

Iterator[Document]

parse(blob: Blob) → List[Document]

Eagerly parse the blob into a document or documents.

This is a convenience method for interactive development environment.

Production applications should favor the lazy_parse method instead.

Subclasses should generally not over-ride this parse method.

Parameters:

blob (Blob) – Blob instance

Returns:

List of documents

Return type:

List[Document]
