Definition
A Python library used in the ingestion layer of RAG pipelines to perform high-fidelity extraction of text, metadata, and visual elements from PDF documents, specifically optimized for preserving table structures and spatial layout.
Focuses on layout-aware extraction and table parsing rather than just basic text stream recovery or PDF creation.
"A surgical scalpel for documents that can precisely extract a table's grid without blurring the surrounding text."
