Details
- PyMuPDF4LLM and PyMuPDF Layout are integrated into the core of PyMuPDF 2.0, allowing usage with a single package installation
- GNN-based layout analysis is applied by default, enabling fast and accurate PDF structure analysis using only a CPU, without GPU or cloud calls
- Detects multi-column layouts, headers, and footers to reconstruct reading order and applies smart OCR, supporting Markdown, JSON, and text outputs for LLMs
- Existing PyMuPDF4LLM users can upgrade without code modifications thanks to a compatibility layer, with support for LlamaIndex and LangChain integration
