Flat PDF Loader

This loader extracts the text from a local flat PDF file using the PyMuPDF Python package and image loader. A single local file is passed in each time you call load_data.

Usage

To use this loader, you need:

  • Download ImageReader and FlatPdfReader using download_loader
  • Init a ImageReader
  • Init a FlatPdfReader and pass ImageReader on init
  • Pass a Path to a local file in method load_data.
from pathlib import Path
from llama_index import download_loader


ImageReader = download_loader("ImageReader")
imageLoader = ImageReader(text_type="plain_text")
FlatPdfReader = download_loader("FlatPdfReader")
pdfLoader = FlatPdfReader(image_loader=imageLoader)

document = pdfLoader.load_data(file=Path('./file.pdf'))

This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data into LlamaIndex and/or subsequently used as a Tool in a LangChain Agent. See here for examples.
