FAQPage Schema
How do I extract text from scanned PDF documents?▼

You can extract text from scanned PDFs by applying OCR via marker-pdf, which recognizes text on scanned pages and outputs searchable, indexable content with multi-language support.

What is the best way to convert an online PDF URL to markdown?▼

For online PDFs, the system first attempts remote URL extraction via web_extract to directly convert online PDFs into markdown format before falling back to local processing methods.

Does this text extraction approach handle both text-based PDFs and scanned documents?▼

Yes, it handles both formats by using pymupdf for fast, accurate text extraction on text-based PDFs, and automatically switching to marker-pdf for OCR when processing scanned documents.

Do I need to install pymupdf and marker-pdf to process local PDF files?▼

Yes, you need the pymupdf and marker-pdf Python libraries installed in your environment to process local PDF files, with python-docx required optionally for DOCX handling.

Can I extract text from DOCX files using this document processing setup?▼

Yes, you can extract text from DOCX files using the python-docx library, which is supported as an optional dependency for document processing alongside the core PDF extraction features.

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

Use pymupdf for text-based PDFs to achieve fast, accurate extraction results. Switch to marker-pdf when processing scanned documents that require OCR to recognize embedded text.
