pdf_oxide 0.3.22

The fastest Rust PDF library with text extraction: 0.8ms mean, 100% pass rate on 3,830 PDFs. 5× faster than pdf_extract, 17× faster than oxidize_pdf. Extract, create, and edit PDFs.

//! Hierarchical content extraction from PDF documents.
//!
//! This module provides extraction of hierarchical content from PDFs, including:
//! - Tagged PDFs with structure trees
//! - Synthetic hierarchy generation for untagged PDFs
//! - MCID (Marked Content ID) to content mapping
//!
//! PDF Spec: ISO 32000-1:2008, Section 14.7-14.8 (Logical Structure and Tagged PDF)
