AI Summary

This release enhances text extraction by reporting paint colors and rendering modes for text runs, while expanding the reading of document metadata fields beyond just the title. It also fixes text decoding issues, extracts text shown via specific operators, and resolves spacing problems in small type headers.

Key Highlights

  • TextItem gains fill_color, stroke_color, and render_mode properties
  • Reads additional document metadata (Author, Subject, Keywords, etc.)
  • Fixes text decoding for PDFDocEncoding and UTF-16LE
  • Extracts text rendered with the `"` operator
  • Fixes baseline spacing for stacked table headers

Breaking Changes

  • TextItem literals now require new fields (fill_color, stroke_color, render_mode)
  • PdfProcessResult/PdfTypeResult now require new metadata fields (author, subject, etc.)

New Features

  • TextItem color properties
  • Extended document metadata extraction
  • Text operator extraction
  • Type spacing fixes

Full Release Notes

Changes since 1.23.0:

- Report the paint each text run was shown with: `TextItem` gains `fill_color` and `stroke_color` (8-bit sRGB, read from DeviceRGB, DeviceGray, DeviceCMYK, ICCBased by component count and Indexed palettes; `None` for Separation, DeviceN, Pattern and CIE-based spaces) and `render_mode` (the `Tr` mode, so invisible text and clipping-only text can be told apart). Extraction and markdown are unchanged (#579).
- Read the document information dictionary's `/Author`, `/Subject`, `/Keywords`, `/Creator`, `/Producer`, `/CreationDate` and `/ModDate` beside `/Title`, each decoded as a PDF text string (#579).
- Decode the document `/Title` as a PDF text string: titles in PDFDocEncoding no longer read with U+FFFD, titles in UTF-16LE no longer read as mojibake, and titles given by reference are read (#579).
- Extract text a page shows with the `"` operator, which the page parser skipped together with the spacing and line move it makes (#579).
- Take an ActualText span's weight from the paint of its first painted glyph rather than from the paint in force at the span's end (#579).
- Keep two lines of small type apart when their baselines lie less than 5 pt apart: a stacked table header at 4.7 pt on a 4.5 pt pitch no longer comes out as words zipped from both lines, and type of 8⅓ pt and above groups exactly as before (#580).

API: `TextItem::fill_color`, `stroke_color` and `render_mode` (Node `fillColor`, `strokeColor`, `renderMode`; Python `fill_color`, `stroke_color`, `render_mode`; the `pdf2md --items-json` fields), and the `PdfProcessResult` / `PdfTypeResult` fields `author`, `subject`, `keywords`, `creator`, `producer`, `creation_date` and `mod_date` (Node and WebAssembly in camelCase, Python as attributes, and the `pdf2md --json` / `detect-pdf --json` members). Rust literals of these types must include the new fields.

Release preparation: #582.
