Faster, Smarter PDF Parsing

Our new PDF parsing engine delivers 3x faster parsing and significantly improved reliability.

Rebuilt in Rust, it automatically adapts to any PDF - from clean text files to scanned reports and complex layouts - ensuring agents receive complete, accurate data every time.

PDF Parser V2

Highlights

  • Rust-Based Parser - A new high-performance engine built in Rust delivers up to 3x faster parsing, dramatically reducing latency in data ingestion and embedding workflows.
  • Three Parsing Modes - Choose the right balance of speed and completeness:
    • fast - text-only parsing with the Rust engine for maximum performance.
    • auto - the new default; starts in fast mode and automatically falls back to OCR when needed. Auto intelligently detects when PDFs require OCR even if they appear text-based, handling edge cases like embedded images, graphs, multi-column layouts, and unusual text encodings.
    • ocr - forces OCR parsing for fully image-based or scanned documents.
  • Built for Production Reliability - Extensively tested across thousands of real-world PDFs to ensure consistent, accurate extraction in production environments.
