🛠️ Basic Usage

Using the CLI

# Convert PDF to JSON
poetry run invocr convert invoice.pdf invoice.json


poetry run python invocr convert ./2024.11/attachments/invoice-25417.pdf --output-dir ./2024.11/attachments/invoice-25417.json

# Process image with specific languages
poetry run invocr img2json receipt.jpg --languages en,pl,de

# Start the API server (use --port 8001 if port 8000 is already in use)
poetry run invocr serve --port 8001

# Run batch processing
poetry run invocr batch ./invoices/ ./output/ --format xml

Helper Scripts

1. Process Single PDF to JSON

# Convert a single PDF to JSON
poetry run python pdf2json.py path/to/input.pdf --output path/to/output.json
poetry run python pdf2json.py

2. Batch Process Multiple PDFs

# Process all PDFs in a directory
poetry run python process_pdfs.py --input-dir ./2024.09/attachments/ --output-dir ./2024.09/attachments/
poetry run python process_pdfs.py --input-dir ./2024.10/attachments/ --output-dir ./2024.10/attachments/
poetry run python process_pdfs.py --input-dir ./2024.11/attachments/ --output-dir ./2024.11/attachments/

poetry run python process_invocr.py --input-dir ./2024.11/attachments/ --output-dir ./2024.11/attachments/

# Available options:
# --input-dir: Directory containing PDF files (default: 2024.09/attachments)
# --output-dir: Directory to save JSON files (default: 2024.09/json)
# --log-level: Set logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)

3. Debug PDF Extraction

# View extracted text from a PDF for debugging
poetry run python debug_pdf.py path/to/document.pdf

Advanced Usage

# Full PDF to HTML conversion pipeline (one step)
invocr pipeline --input invoice.pdf --output ./output/invoice.html --start-format pdf --end-format html

# Step-by-step PDF to HTML conversion
invocr pdf2img --input invoice.pdf --output ./temp/invoice.png
invocr img2json --input ./temp/invoice.png --output ./temp/invoice.json
invocr json2xml --input ./temp/invoice.json --output ./temp/invoice.xml
invocr pipeline --input ./temp/invoice.xml --output ./output/invoice.html --start-format xml --end-format html

Directory Structure

For batch processing, the following directory structure is recommended:

./
├── 2024.09/
│   ├── attachments/    # Put your PDF files here
│   └── json/          # JSON output will be saved here
├── 2024.10/
│   ├── attachments/
│   └── json/
└── ...

Using the API

import requests
import time

# 1. Upload a PDF file
upload_response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8001/api/v1/upload",
    files={"file": open("invoice.pdf", "rb")}
)
file_id = upload_response.json()["file_id"]

# 2. Start the PDF to HTML conversion pipeline
convert_response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8001/api/v1/convert/pipeline",
    json={
        "file_id": file_id,
        "start_format": "pdf",
        "end_format": "html",
        "options": {
            "languages": ["en", "pl"],
            "output_type": "file"
        }
    }
)
task_id = convert_response.json()["task_id"]

# 3. Check conversion status
while True:
    status_response = requests.get(f"http://localhost:8001/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}")
    status = status_response.json()["status"]
    if status == "completed":
        result_file_id = status_response.json()["result"]["file_id"]
        break
    elif status == "failed":
        print("Conversion failed:", status_response.json()["error"])
        break
    time.sleep(1)  # Wait before checking again

# 4. Download the converted HTML file
with open("output.html", "wb") as f:
    download_response = requests.get(f"http://localhost:8001/api/v1/files/{result_file_id}")
    f.write(download_response.content)

print("Conversion complete! HTML file saved as output.html")

Using cURL

# 1. Upload a PDF file
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8001/api/v1/upload" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
  -F "file=@invoice.pdf"

# 2. Start the conversion pipeline (replace YOUR_FILE_ID)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8001/api/v1/convert/pipeline" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "file_id": "YOUR_FILE_ID",
        "start_format": "pdf",
        "end_format": "html",
        "options": {
          "languages": ["en", "pl"],
          "output_type": "file"
        }
      }'

# 3. Check task status (replace YOUR_TASK_ID)
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8001/api/v1/tasks/YOUR_TASK_ID" \
  -H "accept: application/json"

# 4. Download the result (replace YOUR_RESULT_FILE_ID)
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8001/api/v1/files/YOUR_RESULT_FILE_ID" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -o output.html

🧩 Modular Extraction System

InvOCR features a modular extraction system that provides better accuracy, maintainability, and extensibility:

Key Components

• Base Extractor: Core extraction functionality in formats/pdf/extractors/base_extractor.py
• Specialized Extractors: Format-specific extractors including:
  • PDFInvoiceExtractor: General PDF invoice processor
  • AdobeInvoiceExtractor: Specialized for Adobe JSON invoices with OCR verification

Utility Modules

• patterns.py: Centralized regex patterns for all data elements
• date_utils.py: Date parsing and extraction utilities
• numeric_utils.py: Number and currency utilities
• item_utils.py: Line item extraction utilities
• totals_utils.py: Invoice totals extraction utilities

Multi-Level Detection

The system implements a decision tree approach for document classification:

1. Document type detection (invoice, receipt, Adobe JSON)
2. Language detection (en, pl, de, etc.)
3. Format-specific extractor selection
4. OCR verification for higher confidence

Using the Extraction System

# Example: Extract data from a PDF invoice
from invocr.formats.pdf.extractors.pdf_invoice_extractor import PDFInvoiceExtractor

# Create an extractor
extractor = PDFInvoiceExtractor()

# Extract data from text
invoice_data = extractor.extract(text)

# Access extracted data
print(f"Invoice Number: {invoice_data['invoice_number']}")
print(f"Issue Date: {invoice_data['issue_date']}")
print(f"Total Amount: {invoice_data['total_amount']} {invoice_data['currency']}")

REST API

# Start server
invocr serve

# Convert file
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/convert" \
  -F "file=@invoice.pdf" \
  -F "target_format=json" \
  -F "languages=en,pl"

# Check job status
curl "http://localhost:8000/status/{job_id}"

# Download result
curl "http://localhost:8000/download/{job_id}" -o result.json

Python API

from invocr import create_converter

# Create converter instance
converter = create_converter(languages=['en', 'pl', 'de'])

# Convert PDF to JSON
result = converter.pdf_to_json('invoice.pdf')
print(result)

# Convert image to JSON with OCR
data = converter.image_to_json('scan.png', document_type='invoice')

# Convert JSON to EU XML
xml_content = converter.json_to_xml(data, format='eu_invoice')

# Full conversion pipeline
result = converter.convert('input.pdf', 'output.json', 'auto', 'json')
