# pdfluent-extract
PDF content extraction — text with positions, images, and full-text search.
This crate is part of [PDFluent](https://pdfluent.com), a pure-Rust PDF SDK. Source: <https://github.com/pdfluent/pdfluent-sdk>.
**AGPL-3.0 or a commercial licence**, at your option — see the Licence section below.
## What it does
Extracts text content from PDFs with positional metadata (bounding boxes, fonts, sizes), embedded images, and provides full-text search APIs. Supports ligature decomposition and ToUnicode-based character mapping.
## Status
Text extraction is measured against two independent readers on a fixed corpus. The figures are published with a claim ID at <https://pdfluent.com/benchmarks/how-we-measure>; none are repeated here.
## Usage
Most users do not depend on this crate directly. Use the [`pdfluent`](https://crates.io/crates/pdfluent) facade:
```rust
use pdfluent::prelude::*;
```
For low-level access, see <https://pdfluent.com/docs>.
## Licence
AGPL-3.0 or a commercial licence, at your option. The AGPL is the default and
the complete product: there is no licence key, no activation call and no tier,
and every feature works in every build. If you cannot accept the copyleft
obligation, the commercial licence is sold yearly and self-service at
[pdfluent.com/sdk/pricing](https://pdfluent.com/sdk/pricing), in four options: Commercial (per
organisation), OEM Startup and OEM (per product), and Priority support (an
add-on). The two texts are `LICENSE` and `LICENSE-COMMERCIAL` in this crate.
