pdf-ocr

OCR integration for PDFluent — Tesseract and PaddleOCR backends.

This crate is part of the PDFluent commercial Rust PDF SDK.

Free for evaluation. Production use requires a valid license.

What it does

Extracts text from scanned/raster PDF pages using OCR. Two pluggable backends:

• Tesseract — broadly used, good general accuracy, mature
• PaddleOCR — better for non-Latin scripts (CJK, Arabic, etc.)

Status

Beta. Backend-dependent quality. Not yet broadly tested at scale.

Usage

Most users do not depend on this crate directly. Use the pdfluent facade with ocr-tesseract or ocr-paddle:

use pdfluent::prelude::*;
