Crate pdfluent_extract 

PDF content extraction: text with positions, images, and full-text search.

Works directly on lopdf::Document objects, which can be loaded from a file with Document::load. Three extraction targets are available:

• Text — plain strings or TextBlock records with page, font, bbox
• Positioned characters — per-character PositionedChar with bounding boxes
• Images — ExtractedImage with raw pixel data and format metadata
• Search — substring search with SearchResult entries (page + bboxes)

Quick Start

use lopdf::Document;
use pdfluent_extract::{extract_text, extract_page_text, search_text, SearchOptions};

let doc = Document::load("document.pdf").unwrap();

// All text blocks from every page.
for block in extract_text(&doc) {
    println!("[page {}] {} (font: {}, size: {:.1}pt)",
        block.page, block.text, block.font_name, block.font_size);
}

// Plain text from one page (1-based page number).
let text = extract_page_text(&doc, 1).unwrap();

// Full-text search with bounding boxes.
let opts = SearchOptions { case_insensitive: true, ..Default::default() };
for result in search_text(&doc, "invoice", &opts) {
    println!("Page {}: {:?} ({} bboxes)",
        result.page, result.text, result.bounding_boxes.len());
}

Key Types

Type	Description
TextBlock	Text run with page number, bounding box, font name/size
PositionedChar	Single character with per-character bounding box
ExtractedImage	Raw image data extracted from a page
SearchResult	Match with page, text, character bounding boxes, offset
SearchOptions	Case sensitivity, page filter, max results, bbox toggle
