Setup​

To access PyPDFium2 document loader you'll need to install the langchain-community integration package.

Credentials​

No credentials are needed.

If you want to get automated best in-class tracing of your model calls you can also set your LangSmith API key by uncommenting below:

# os.environ["LANGSMITH_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your LangSmith API key: ")
# os.environ["LANGSMITH_TRACING"] = "true"

Installation​

Install langchain_community.

%pip install -qU langchain_community

Initialization​

Now we can instantiate our model object and load documents:

from langchain_community.document_loaders import PyPDFium2Loader

file_path = "./example_data/layout-parser-paper.pdf"
loader = PyPDFium2Loader(file_path)
API Reference:PyPDFium2Loader

Load​

docs = loader.load()

Recent advances in document image analysis (DIA) have been\r\nprimarily driven by the application of neural networks. Ideally, research\r\noutcomes could be easily deployed in production and extended for further\r\ninvestigation. However, various factors like loosely organized codebases\r\nand sophisticated model configurations complicate the easy reuse of im\x02portant innovations by a wide audience. Though there have been on-going\r\nefforts to improve reusability and simplify deep learning (DL) model\r\ndevelopment in disciplines like natural language processing and computer\r\nvision, none of them are optimized for challenges in the domain of DIA.\r\nThis represents a major gap in the existing toolkit, as DIA is central to\r\nacademic research across a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences\r\nand humanities. This paper introduces LayoutParser, an open-source\r\nlibrary for streamlining the usage of DL in DIA research and applica\x02tions. The core LayoutParser library comes with a set of simple and\r\nintuitive interfaces for applying and customizing DL models for layout de\x02tection, character recognition, and many other document processing tasks.\r\nTo promote extensibility, LayoutParser also incorporates a community\r\nplatform for sharing both pre-trained models and full document digiti\x02zation pipelines. We demonstrate that LayoutParser is helpful for both\r\nlightweight and large-scale digitization pipelines in real-word use cases.\r\nThe library is publicly available at https://layout-parser.github.io.\r\nKeywords: Document Image Analysis· Deep Learning· Layout Analysis\r\n· Character Recognition· Open Source library· Toolkit.\r\n1 Introduction\r\nDeep Learning(DL)-based approaches are the state-of-the-art for a wide range of\r\ndocument image analysis (DIA) tasks including document image classification [11,\r\narXiv:2103.15348v2 [cs.CV] 21 Jun 2021\n')

Lazy Load​

page = []
for doc in loader.lazy_load():
    page.append(doc)
    if len(page) >= 10:
        # do some paged operation, e.g.
        # index.upsert(page)

        page = []
