AI Summary
This release introduces detailed text paint information and expands the extraction of document metadata, fixing decoding issues for PDF titles and text operators.
Key Highlights
- Adds `fill_color`, `stroke_color`, and `render_mode` to `TextItem` for detailed text analysis.
- Extracts additional document metadata including Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, and dates.
- Fixes PDF title decoding for PDFDocEncoding and UTF-16LE.
- Extracts text rendered with the `"` operator, which was previously skipped.
- Improves baseline spacing logic for small type to prevent visual artifacts.
Breaking Changes
- Rust literals of new types must include the new fields.
New Features
- Text paint property extraction (colors and render modes).
- Comprehensive document information dictionary decoding.
- Improved PDF text string decoding.
- Extraction of text rendered via the `"` operator.
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. [Full changelog](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/v1.23.0...v1.24.0)
