1//! pdfium-based text extraction and page rendering.
2//!
3//! Text is reconstructed the way docling's `docling-parse` does it, so the
4//! output spacing matches the groundtruth: the page's **character** stream is
5//! grouped into **words** (split at a horizontal gap wider than a fraction of
6//! the font height — font-relative, so letter-tracking in display titles does
7//! not split a word) and words into **lines** (by baseline). pdfium-render's
8//! safe API only exposes whole style runs / `GetBoundedText`, so the character
9//! loop is driven through the raw `PdfiumLibraryBindings` FFI on a second handle
10//! to the same bytes (no fork; stays publishable).
