# PyMuPDF PDF ## Overview Parse PDFs locally using PyMuPDF for fast, lightweight extraction into Markdown by default, with optional JSON and image/table outputs in a per-document directory. ## Prereqs / when to read references If you hit import errors (PyMuPDF not installed) or Nix `libstdc++` issues, read: - `references/pymupdf-notes.md` ## Quick start (single PDF) ```bash # Run from the skill directory ./scripts/pymupdf_parse.py /path/to/file.pdf \ --format md \ --outroot ./pymupdf-output ``` ## Options - `--format md|json|both` (default: `md`) - `--images` to extract images - `--tables` to extract a simple line-based table JSON (quick/rough) - `--outroot DIR` to change output root - `--lang` adds a language hint into JSON output metadata ## Output conventions - Create `./pymupdf-output/<pdf-basename>/` by default. - Markdown output: `output.md` - JSON output: `output.json` (includes `lang`) - Images: `images/` subdir - Tables: `tables.json` (rough line-based) ## Notes - PyMuPDF is fast but less robust on complex PDFs. - For more robust parsing, use a heavy-duty OCR parser (e.g., MinerU) if installed.
