# DeepDoctection Loader This loader extracts the text from a local PDF file using the deepdoctection Python package, a library that performs doc extraction and document layout. ## Usage To use this loader, you need to pass in a `Path` to a local file. ```python from pathlib import Path from llama_index import download_loader DeepDoctectionReader = download_loader("DeepDoctectionReader") loader = DeepDoctectionReader() documents = loader.load_data(file=Path('./article.pdf')) ``` This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data into [LlamaIndex](https://github.com/jerryjliu/gpt_index/tree/main/gpt_index) and/or subsequently used as a Tool in a [LangChain](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain) Agent.
