Layout Analysis

Overview

Layout analysis is the process of leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to parse and understand the structure of a document's layout. Its primary goal is to extract text, images, tables, layers, and other data from the input documents.

Layout analysis has several common use cases, including:

• Intelligent recognition of tables within PDF documents: This feature is particularly useful for analyzing company financial statements, invoices, bank statements, experimental data, medical test reports, and more.
• Smart extraction of text, images, or tables from PDF documents through layout analysis: This functionality greatly aids in the analysis and extraction of information from identification cards, receipts, licenses, documents, ancient books, and other various types of files.

Features that support Layout Analysis:

• PDF to Word
• PDF to Excel
• PDF to PPT
• PDF to HTML
• PDF to RTF
• PDF to TXT
• PDF to CSV
• PDF to JSON
• PDF to Markdown

Notice

• You need to integrate the OCR module before using layout analysis.
• When the OCR is enabled, the layout analysis is automatically enabled.

Sample

This Sample demonstrates how to use the ComPDFKit OCR function to convert PDF to DOCX file.

val inputFilePath = "***";
val password = "***";
val outputFileName = "***";

val wordOptions = WordOptions();
wordOptions.containImages = true;
wordOptions.containAnnotations = true;
wordOptions.enableAiLayout = true;
wordOptions.enableOCR = false;

val error = ComPDFKitConverter.startPDFToWord(inputFilePath, password, outputFileName, wordOptions);
