●●SolidSlickSolve My Problem
Rust rewrite with PDFium delivers 100x speedup over the Python v1.
Strengths
- •PDFium C library binding means no Python subprocess overhead for text extraction.
- •WASM build enables browser-side parsing without server round-trips.
- •Flexible OCR architecture supports Tesseract bundled or any HTTP OCR server.
Weaknesses
- •Still recommends LlamaParse cloud for complex layouts, tables, and charts.
- •Document parsing space is crowded with Unstructured, Marker, and pdfplumber.
