PYMUPDF
Fast Python PDF processing and text extraction
AGPL-3.0
ABOUT
LLM document processing pipelines need to extract clean, structured text from PDFs, but most PDF libraries are either slow (PyPDF2, pdfminer) or produce garbled output with merged columns, missing headings, and lost formatting. PyMuPDF is one of the fastest and most accurate PDF text extraction libraries available, handling complex layouts, tables, images, annotations, and forms with sub-millisecond page rendering. It is the de facto standard for production PDF ingestion into RAG pipelines and document AI workflows.
