PdfPlumberExtractor

Extractor
DashAI.back.models.RAG.extractors.PdfPlumberExtractor

PDF text extractor using the pdfplumber library.

Builds on pdfminer.six with word and table detection, so it can keep tabular content readable instead of flattening it into a run of numbers.

Parameters

password : string, default=
Password for encrypted PDFs. Leave empty for unencrypted files.
x_tolerance : number, default=3.0
Horizontal distance, in points, below which two characters belong to the same word. Lower it when words run together.
y_tolerance : number, default=3.0
Vertical distance, in points, below which two characters belong to the same line. Raise it when a line is split in two.
layout : boolean, default=False
Pad the output with whitespace so it mirrors the position of the text on the page. Preserves columns at the cost of extra whitespace.
extract_tables : boolean, default=False
Append each detected table after the page text, as tab separated rows. Useful for documents whose data lives in tables.
