One of the biggest challenges I've been facing since I started developing [๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง](https://github.com/AstraBert/PdfItDown) was handling correctly the conversion of files like Excel sheets and CSVs: table conversion was bad and messy, almost unusable for downstream tasks๐ซฃ
That's why today I'm excited to introduce ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ, the new feature of PdfItDown v1.4.0!๐
With ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด, you can choose among three (for now๐) flavors of text extraction and conversion to PDF:
- ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด, which does a fantastic work with presentations, spreadsheets and word documents๐ฆ
- ๐๐น๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ by LlamaIndex, suitable for more complex and articulated documents, with mixture of texts, images and tables๐ฆ
- ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐ป by Microsoft, not the best at handling highly structured documents, by extremly flexible in terms of input file format (it can even convert XML, JSON and ZIP files!)โ๏ธ
You can use this new feature in your python scripts (check the attached code snippet!๐) and in the command line interface as well!๐
Have fun and don't forget to star the repo on GitHub โก๏ธ https://github.com/AstraBert/PdfItDown
