litedoc-cli

The litedoc.xyz extraction engine in your terminal: deterministic PDF → Markdown that never hallucinates, with an optional, triage-first AI repair pass you can point at your own model.

pip install litedoc-cli
playwright install chromium        # one-time engine download

litedoc convert paper.pdf                  # markdown to stdout
litedoc convert scans/*.pdf -o out/ --ocr
litedoc convert paper.pdf -o out/ --images out/images   # extracted figures as JPEGs
litedoc convert scan.pdf --ai-url http://localhost:11434 --ai-model llama3.1:8b

• Identical output to the web app — it drives the same single-file engine headlessly.
• Deterministic by default — no AI flag, no network: nothing leaves your machine.
• Bring your own AI — --ai-url speaks Ollama or OpenAI-compatible protocols; only sections that are provably damaged (broken sentences, ragged tables, OCR artifacts) are ever sent. --ai uses the hosted LiteDoc service instead (token from LITEDOC_TOKEN; only damaged sections are billed).
• Scriptable — globs, stdin (-), stdout piping, --json envelopes, real exit codes.
• Structure, not just prose — --json returns per-page layout (lines with coordinates, font sizes, reading-order blocks, OCR provenance; tables as row arrays; figures with page + bounding box), and --images DIR writes detected figures — cropped to include their axis labels and annotations — as JPEG files linked from the markdown.
