When to use it
Local document and PDF parsing that returns spatial text with bounding boxes. Use for extracting text from PDFs, DOCX, Office files, and images; running OCR on scans; producing layout-preserved JSON for RAG; batch-ingesting folders of papers; or rendering pages to PNG for multimodal agents. Distinguishing capabilities are per-token bounding boxes, page raster output, and fully local processing with no cloud API.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “How do I get word-level bounding boxes out of a PDF locally? No cloud APIs please.”
- “I have a folder of ~300 scanned supplementary PDFs in ./supp_pdfs/ from a proteomics project. Some are image-only scans and OCR is crawling. I need layout-preserved JSON for each, written to ./parsed/, and only pages 5-12 of each since that’s where the methods are. What should I run, and how do I speed it up?”
- “I’m building a RAG system over my lab’s papers, and I want to highlight the exact region of the page where an answer came from, and also show a vision model the page image alongside it. How should I set up the ingestion?”
