Samples

Get FORMS and TABLES as CSV

from textractcaller.t_call import call_textract, Textract_Features
from textractprettyprinter.t_pretty_print import Pretty_Print_Table_Format, Textract_Pretty_Print, get_string

textract_json = call_textract(input_document=input_document, features=[Textract_Features.FORMS, Textract_Features.TABLES])
print(get_string(textract_json=textract_json,
               table_format=Pretty_Print_Table_Format.csv,
               output_type=[Textract_Pretty_Print.TABLES, Textract_Pretty_Print.FORMS]))

Get string for TABLES using the get_string method

from textractcaller.t_call import call_textract, Textract_Features
from textractprettyprinter.t_pretty_print import Textract_Pretty_Print, get_string

textract_json = call_textract(input_document=input_document, features=[Textract_Features.TABLES])
get_string(textract_json=textract_json, output_type=Textract_Pretty_Print.TABLES)

Print out tables in LaTeX format

from textractcaller.t_call import call_textract, Textract_Features
from textractprettyprinter.t_pretty_print import Textract_Pretty_Print, get_string

textract_json = call_textract(input_document=input_document, features=[Textract_Features.FORMS, Textract_Features.TABLES])
get_tables_string(textract_json=textract_json, table_format=Pretty_Print_Table_Format.latex)

Get linearized text from LAYOUT using get_text_from_layout_json method

Generates a dictionary of linearized text from the Textract JSON response with LAYOUT, and optionally writes linearized plain text files to local file system or Amazon S3. It can take either per page JSON from AnalyzeDocument API, or a single combined JSON with all the pages created from StartDocumentAnalysis output JSONs.

from textractcaller.t_call import call_textract, Textract_Features
from textractprettyprinter.t_pretty_print import get_text_from_layout_json

textract_json = call_textract(input_document=input_document, features=[Textract_Features.LAYOUT, Textract_Features.TABLES])
layout = get_text_from_layout_json(textract_json=textract_json)

full_text = layout[1]
print(full_text)

In addition to textract_json, the get_text_from_layout_json function can take the following additional parameters

• table_format (str, optional): Format of tables within the document. Supports all python-tabulate table formats. See tabulate for supported table formats. Defaults to grid.
• exclude_figure_text (bool, optional): If set to True, excludes text extracted from figures in the document. Defaults to False.
• exclude_page_header (bool, optional): If set to True, excludes the page header from the linearized text. Defaults to False.
• exclude_page_footer (bool, optional): If set to True, excludes the page footer from the linearized text. Defaults to False.
• exclude_page_number (bool, optional): If set to True, excludes the page number from the linearized text. Defaults to False.
• skip_table (bool, optional): If set to True, skips including the table in the linearized text. Defaults to False.
• save_txt_path (str, optional): Path to save the output linearized text to files. Either a local file system path or Amazon S3 path can be specified in s3://bucket_name/prefix/ format. Files will be saved with <page_number>.txt naming convention.
• generate_markdown (bool, optional): If set to True, generates markdown formatted linearized text. Defaults to False.

Generate the layout.csv similar to the Textract Web Console

Customers asked for the abilility to generate the layout.csv format, which can be downloaded when testing documents in the AWS Web Console. The method ``get_layout_csv_from_trp2```` generates for each page a list of the entries:

'Page number,'Layout,'Text,'Reading Order,'Confidence score

• Page number: starting at 1, incrementing for eac page
• Layout: the BlockType + a number indicating the sequence for this BlockType starting at 1 and for LAYOUT_LIST elements the string: "- part of LAYOUT_LIST (index)" is added
• Text: except for LAYOUT_LIST and LAYOUT_FIGURE the underlying text
• Reading Order: increasing int for each LAYOUT element starting with 0
• Confidence score: confidence in this being a LAYOUT element

this can be used to generate a CSV (or another format). Below a sample how to generate a CSV.

# taken from the test
# generates the CSV in memory
from textractprettyprinter import get_layout_csv_from_trp2

with open(<some_test_file>) as input_fp:
    trp2_doc: TDocument = TDocumentSchema().load(json.load(input_fp))
    layout_csv = get_layout_csv_from_trp2(trp2_doc)
    csv_output = io.StringIO()
    csv_writer = csv.writer(csv_output, delimiter=",", quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
    for page in layout_csv:
        csv_writer.writerows(page)
    print(csv_output)
