AI Summary

Introduces font weight metadata and fixes issues regarding clipped text and file header detection.

Key Highlights

  • Adds `font_weight` (100-900 scale) to text items with an opt-in `bold_from_weight` feature.
  • Fixes text extraction by ignoring text painted wholly outside its rectangular clip.
  • Improves file loading tolerance by searching for the `%PDF-` header within the first 1024 bytes.
  • Adds `is_bold_font` recognition for Demi, Semibold, Ultra, Heavy, and Black faces.

Breaking Changes

  • Rust migration required: TextItem literals must include `font_weight: None` for items with unknown weight.

New Features

  • Font weight metadata
  • Clipped-text filtering
  • File header tolerance

Full Release Notes

Changes since 1.20.0:

- Add `font_weight`, the font's 100..=900 weight class, to text items in Rust, Node, Python and `pdf2md --items-json`, with an opt-in `bold_from_weight` on the positioned-text and region APIs that reads bold from a weight of 600 or more and keeps runs of different weight as separate items (#536).
- Leave out text painted wholly outside its rectangular clip, so off-canvas labels no longer leak into the surrounding text (#539).
- Tolerate leading bytes before the `%PDF-` header, locating it within the first 1024 bytes as mupdf, pdfium and poppler do (#538).

`bold_from_weight` is opt-in; `is_bold` and item merging are unchanged by default.

**Rust migration:** `TextItem` literals need `font_weight: None` for items whose weight class is unknown.

Release preparation: #546.
