firecrawl/pdf-inspector
Summary
pdf-inspector is a fast Rust library that classifies PDFs as text-based, scanned, image-based, or mixed, and extracts text with position info, converting it to Markdown without OCR. It offers bindings for Python, Node.js, and browser WebAssembly, and emphasizes local processing for speed and privacy. The project is positioned as a practical tool for processing text-heavy PDFs such as reports, papers, invoices, and legal documents.
