PDF parser
Project description
# PDF-Major
PDF-Major is a fork of PDFMiner.six. It is meant to be a more light-weight implementation that makes fewer assumptions on the data. Additionally, this version intends to be more up to date with recent versions of python and make liberal use of the typing capabilities of python for improved future maintainability.
## Documentation
See documentation [here](https://asosnovsky.github.io/pdfmajor/).
## Why Another Fork?
PDFMiner was designed to run in python 2.7>, PDFMiner.six was written to bring cross-version support for python 2 and 3. This versions intends to make use of the latest improvement in the python language while remaining fairly simple to develop with.
## Features
Written entirely in Python.
Parse, analyze, and convert PDF documents.
PDF-1.7 specification support. (well, almost)
CJK languages and vertical writing scripts support.
Various font types (Type1, TrueType, Type3, and CID) support.
Basic encryption (RC4) support.
Font-Color extraction
Shape fill and stroke color extraction
Note: We took out the layout-analysis process in this version (there is no more LTTextHorizontal or LTTextVertical). While the mathematics behind the grouping process was sound, the coupling of the layout-analysis process with the parsing and interpretation process produced unfriendly-code. This feature could be brought back by extending the pdfmajor.layouts.PDFLayoutAnalyzer class, but at the current time is not supported.
