Library provides a useful operations over PDF/Image

pdfutil [Under Development]

Library provides a lot of operations over PDF/Image.

Input and Output

The Libarary expose each function with a standard set of argument which are fixed for eevry function

import pdfutil
coordinates = pdfutil.detect_*(pdf_location, [save_result=False], [show_result=False], [result_location='.'], [args={}])

Name	Description
pdf_location	input location of PDF, image can also be passed libaray will autodetect the image
save_result	Default False, If True will save the result pdf/img in location specified by result_location
show_result	Default False, This is used for debugging only when True will popup a matplotlib plot highlighting the regions which are detected with corresponding labels
result_location	Default current directory, location where ouptut needs to be saved, ignored if save_result is set as False
args	custom set of args in form of dictionaty specific to each function
coordinates	Output returned by the function call, this will contain json output in following format

[
  {
    "type": "text",
    "output": {
      "coord": [
        ["pageno_1", "startx_1", "starty_1", "width_1", "height_1"],
        ["pageno_2", "startx_2", "starty_2", "width_2", "height_2"]
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "table",
    "output": {
      "coord": [
        ["pageno_1", "startx_1", "starty_1", "width_1", "height_1"],
      ]
    }
  }
]
