Frequently Asked Questions about ocr-and-documents

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract text from scanned PDFs using Python?▼

To extract text from scanned PDFs, this Skill uses marker-pdf for OCR-based extraction, providing layout-aware text capture and multi-language support. It processes local files to output readable text for downstream analysis.

What is the best way to extract text from a remote PDF URL?▼

The best way to extract text from a remote PDF URL is using the web_extract workflow. It fetches online documents directly and extracts readable text without requiring local file downloads.

Do I need pymupdf or marker-pdf for local PDF text extraction?▼

You need pymupdf for fast text extraction from text-based local PDFs, and marker-pdf for OCR-based extraction when handling scanned documents that lack embedded text.

Can I extract text from DOCX and PPTX files with pymupdf?▼

While pymupdf handles text-based PDFs, the Skill references DOCX and PPTX as alternative formats. Marker-pdf supports these formats for text extraction alongside its OCR capabilities.

When should I use marker-pdf instead of pymupdf for text extraction?▼

Use marker-pdf instead of pymupdf when processing scanned documents requiring OCR. PyMuPDF is limited to text-based PDFs, whereas marker-pdf provides layout-aware capture and multi-language OCR support.
