pdf-parser

Convert PDF papers to markdown format using PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 API, with automatic image extraction and layout preservation.

Overview

This skill uses PaddleOCR's cloud API to convert PDF academic papers into markdown format. It preserves document structure, extracts text content, and downloads embedded images.

Workflow

PDF Files → PaddleOCR API → JSONL Result → Markdown + Images

Processing Steps

Submit Job: Upload each PDF to PaddleOCR API
Wait for Result: Poll job status until completion
Download & Merge: Fetch JSONL result, extract markdown text and images
Save Output: Write combined markdown file with embedded image references

Setup

1. Obtain PaddleOCR API Token

Get your API token from PaddleOCR AI Studio and set the environment variable:

export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"

Or add to ~/.bashrc or .env file for persistent configuration:

echo 'export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Usage

Basic Usage

python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "path/to/pdfs/*.pdf"

Process Multiple Directories

# Process all PDFs in arxiv subdirectories
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "arxiv/*/*.pdf"

# Process specific directory
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "/home/user/papers/*.pdf"

Args

Argument	Short	Default	Description
`--files`	`-f`	(required)	Glob pattern(s) for PDF files to process (e.g. `"arxiv//.pdf"`)
`--workers`		`5`	Maximum parallel PDF processing threads

Output Format

File Naming

Input: paper_123.pdf
Output: paper_123.md (same directory as input)

Markdown Structure

Text content extracted and preserved in reading order
Images saved as separate files with references in markdown
Layout structure maintained (headers, paragraphs, lists)

Image Handling

Images extracted from PDF are downloaded separately
Saved in the same directory as the markdown file
Referenced in markdown using standard image syntax

Configuration

API Settings (Hardcoded)

Setting	Value	Description
`MODEL`	`PaddleOCR-VL-1.5`	OCR model version
`useDocOrientationClassify`	`False`	Disable auto-orientation
`useDocUnwarping`	`False`	Disable document unwarping
`useChartRecognition`	`False`	Disable chart recognition

Concurrency Settings

Parameter	Value	Description
`--workers`	`5`	Maximum parallel PDF processing threads
`semaphore`	`5`	Maximum concurrent API requests

Example

Convert Single Directory

# Convert all PDFs in the papers directory
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "./papers/*.pdf"

# Output:
# ./papers/paper1.pdf → ./papers/paper1.md
# ./papers/paper2.pdf → ./papers/paper2.md

Convert arXiv Download Directory

# Typical workflow after arxiv-retriever download
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "arxiv/*/*.pdf"

# Output:
# arxiv/cs.LG/paper_123.pdf → arxiv/cs.LG/paper_123.md

Error Handling

Skipped Files: PDFs that already have a corresponding .md file are skipped
Failed Jobs: Server-side job failures / timeouts are reported with the job id via tqdm.write(); all failed paths are collected in ./failed_files.txt so the batch can be re-run
Network Errors: Request failures are caught and logged per-file
Exit Code: the script exits non-zero when any file failed or errored

Performance

Parallel Processing: Up to 5 PDFs processed concurrently by default (--workers)
Rate Limiting: Max 5 simultaneous API requests to avoid throttling
Progress Tracking: Real-time progress bar using tqdm

Dependencies

requests - HTTP API calls
tqdm - Progress bars
python-dotenv - Environment variable loading

Notes

Requires internet connection for API calls
API usage may be subject to quotas or billing
Large PDFs may take longer to process
Image files are downloaded separately and saved alongside markdown

# pdf-parser

Convert PDF papers to markdown format using PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 API, with automatic image extraction and layout preservation.

## Overview

This skill uses PaddleOCR's cloud API to convert PDF academic papers into markdown format. It preserves document structure, extracts text content, and downloads embedded images.

## Workflow

```
PDF Files → PaddleOCR API → JSONL Result → Markdown + Images
```

### Processing Steps

1. **Submit Job**: Upload each PDF to PaddleOCR API
2. **Wait for Result**: Poll job status until completion
3. **Download & Merge**: Fetch JSONL result, extract markdown text and images
4. **Save Output**: Write combined markdown file with embedded image references

## Setup

### 1. Obtain PaddleOCR API Token

Get your API token from [PaddleOCR AI Studio](https://aistudio.baidu.com/) and set the environment variable:

```bash
export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"
```

Or add to `~/.bashrc` or `.env` file for persistent configuration:

```bash
echo 'export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```bash
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "path/to/pdfs/*.pdf"
```

### Process Multiple Directories

```bash
# Process all PDFs in arxiv subdirectories
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "arxiv/*/*.pdf"

# Process specific directory
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "/home/user/papers/*.pdf"
```

## Args

| Argument | Short | Default | Description |
|----------|-------|---------|-------------|
| `--files` | `-f` | *(required)* | Glob pattern(s) for PDF files to process (e.g. `"arxiv/*/*.pdf"`) |
| `--workers` | | `5` | Maximum parallel PDF processing threads |

## Output Format

### File Naming
- Input: `paper_123.pdf`
- Output: `paper_123.md` (same directory as input)

### Markdown Structure
- Text content extracted and preserved in reading order
- Images saved as separate files with references in markdown
- Layout structure maintained (headers, paragraphs, lists)

### Image Handling
- Images extracted from PDF are downloaded separately
- Saved in the same directory as the markdown file
- Referenced in markdown using standard image syntax

## Configuration

### API Settings (Hardcoded)

| Setting | Value | Description |
|---------|-------|-------------|
| `MODEL` | `PaddleOCR-VL-1.5` | OCR model version |
| `useDocOrientationClassify` | `False` | Disable auto-orientation |
| `useDocUnwarping` | `False` | Disable document unwarping |
| `useChartRecognition` | `False` | Disable chart recognition |

### Concurrency Settings

| Parameter | Value | Description |
|-----------|-------|-------------|
| `--workers` | `5` | Maximum parallel PDF processing threads |

- `python-dotenv` - Environment variable loading

## Notes

- Requires internet connection for API calls
- API usage may be subject to quotas or billing
- Large PDFs may take longer to process

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
No input validation for PDF file paths; could allow path traversal if user provides malicious paths.
Image paths from API response are not sanitized; could write outside output directory if API returns malicious paths.
The script writes failed_files.txt in the current working directory, which may be unexpected if the user runs from a different location.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

pdf-parser

Convert PDF papers to markdown format using PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 API, with automatic image extraction and layout preservation.

Overview

This skill uses PaddleOCR's cloud API to convert PDF academic papers into markdown format. It preserves document structure, extracts text content, and downloads embedded images.

Workflow

PDF Files → PaddleOCR API → JSONL Result → Markdown + Images

Processing Steps

Submit Job: Upload each PDF to PaddleOCR API
Wait for Result: Poll job status until completion
Download & Merge: Fetch JSONL result, extract markdown text and images
Save Output: Write combined markdown file with embedded image references

Setup

1. Obtain PaddleOCR API Token

Get your API token from PaddleOCR AI Studio and set the environment variable:

export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"

Or add to ~/.bashrc or .env file for persistent configuration:

echo 'export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Usage

Basic Usage

python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "path/to/pdfs/*.pdf"

Process Multiple Directories

# Process all PDFs in arxiv subdirectories
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "arxiv/*/*.pdf"

# Process specific directory
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "/home/user/papers/*.pdf"

Args

Argument	Short	Default	Description
`--files`	`-f`	(required)	Glob pattern(s) for PDF files to process (e.g. `"arxiv//.pdf"`)
`--workers`		`5`	Maximum parallel PDF processing threads

Output Format

File Naming

Input: paper_123.pdf
Output: paper_123.md (same directory as input)

Markdown Structure

Text content extracted and preserved in reading order
Images saved as separate files with references in markdown
Layout structure maintained (headers, paragraphs, lists)

Image Handling

Images extracted from PDF are downloaded separately
Saved in the same directory as the markdown file
Referenced in markdown using standard image syntax

Configuration

API Settings (Hardcoded)

Setting	Value	Description
`MODEL`	`PaddleOCR-VL-1.5`	OCR model version
`useDocOrientationClassify`	`False`	Disable auto-orientation
`useDocUnwarping`	`False`	Disable document unwarping
`useChartRecognition`	`False`	Disable chart recognition

Concurrency Settings

Parameter	Value	Description
`--workers`	`5`	Maximum parallel PDF processing threads
`semaphore`	`5`	Maximum concurrent API requests

Example

Convert Single Directory

# Convert all PDFs in the papers directory
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "./papers/*.pdf"

# Output:
# ./papers/paper1.pdf → ./papers/paper1.md
# ./papers/paper2.pdf → ./papers/paper2.md

Convert arXiv Download Directory

# Typical workflow after arxiv-retriever download
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "arxiv/*/*.pdf"

# Output:
# arxiv/cs.LG/paper_123.pdf → arxiv/cs.LG/paper_123.md

Error Handling

Skipped Files: PDFs that already have a corresponding .md file are skipped
Failed Jobs: Server-side job failures / timeouts are reported with the job id via tqdm.write(); all failed paths are collected in ./failed_files.txt so the batch can be re-run
Network Errors: Request failures are caught and logged per-file
Exit Code: the script exits non-zero when any file failed or errored

Performance

Parallel Processing: Up to 5 PDFs processed concurrently by default (--workers)
Rate Limiting: Max 5 simultaneous API requests to avoid throttling
Progress Tracking: Real-time progress bar using tqdm

Dependencies

requests - HTTP API calls
tqdm - Progress bars
python-dotenv - Environment variable loading

Notes

Requires internet connection for API calls
API usage may be subject to quotas or billing
Large PDFs may take longer to process
Image files are downloaded separately and saved alongside markdown

# pdf-parser

Convert PDF papers to markdown format using PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 API, with automatic image extraction and layout preservation.

## Overview

This skill uses PaddleOCR's cloud API to convert PDF academic papers into markdown format. It preserves document structure, extracts text content, and downloads embedded images.

## Workflow

```
PDF Files → PaddleOCR API → JSONL Result → Markdown + Images
```

### Processing Steps

1. **Submit Job**: Upload each PDF to PaddleOCR API
2. **Wait for Result**: Poll job status until completion
3. **Download & Merge**: Fetch JSONL result, extract markdown text and images
4. **Save Output**: Write combined markdown file with embedded image references

## Setup

### 1. Obtain PaddleOCR API Token

Get your API token from [PaddleOCR AI Studio](https://aistudio.baidu.com/) and set the environment variable:

```bash
export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"
```

Or add to `~/.bashrc` or `.env` file for persistent configuration:

```bash
echo 'export PADDLE_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```bash
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "path/to/pdfs/*.pdf"
```

### Process Multiple Directories

```bash
# Process all PDFs in arxiv subdirectories
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "arxiv/*/*.pdf"

# Process specific directory
python3 skills/pdf-parser/scripts/paddleOCR.py -f "/home/user/papers/*.pdf"
```

## Args

| Argument | Short | Default | Description |
|----------|-------|---------|-------------|
| `--files` | `-f` | *(required)* | Glob pattern(s) for PDF files to process (e.g. `"arxiv/*/*.pdf"`) |
| `--workers` | | `5` | Maximum parallel PDF processing threads |

## Output Format

### File Naming
- Input: `paper_123.pdf`
- Output: `paper_123.md` (same directory as input)

### Markdown Structure
- Text content extracted and preserved in reading order
- Images saved as separate files with references in markdown

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
