pdfplumber.text — net.clojars.savya/pdfplumber-clj 0.1.1

Character, word, and text extraction over PDFBox's PDFTextStripper.

PDFTextStripper already reports direction-adjusted coordinates in a top-left origin, so char maps are built directly from getXDirAdj/getYDirAdj without a page-height flip. Words are formed by clustering chars into lines (within :y-tolerance) and splitting on horizontal gaps wider than :x-tolerance.

chars clj

(chars doc)

(chars doc {:keys [page bbox]})

Vector of character maps {:text :x0 :top :x1 :bottom :font-name :font-size :page-number}. Options: :page (1-based, limit to one page) and :bbox (keep chars whose center falls inside [x0 top x1 bottom]).

text clj

(text doc)

(text doc
      {:keys [x-tolerance y-tolerance]
       :or {x-tolerance default-tolerance y-tolerance default-tolerance}
       :as opts})

Reconstructed text: words joined by spaces within a line, lines by newlines. Accepts the same options as words.

words clj

(words doc)

(words doc
       {:keys [x-tolerance y-tolerance]
        :or {x-tolerance default-tolerance y-tolerance default-tolerance}
        :as opts})

Vector of word maps {:text :x0 :top :x1 :bottom :page-number}, reading order. Options: :page, :bbox, :x-tolerance (default 3.0), :y-tolerance (default 3.0).
