v0.5.0

Added

• New functions on ElementList, move_forwards_from and move_backwards_from, to allow moving forwards and backwards from a certain element in the list easily. (#113)

Changed

• When the layout parameter all_texts is True, the text inside figures is now also returned as elements in the document. (#99)

Fixed

• Passing a tolerance less than the width/height of an element no longer causes an error. The tolerance is now capped at half the width/height of the element. (#103)

v0.4.0

Added

• Added __len__ and __repr__ functions to the Section class. (#90)
• Added flag to extract_simple_table and extract_table functions to remove duplicate header rows. (#89)
• You can now specify element_ordering when instantiating a PDFDocument. This defaults to the old behaviour or left to right, top to bottom. (#95)

Changed

• Advanced layout analysis is now disabled by default. (#88)

v0.3.0

Added

• Published to PyPI as py-pdf-parser.
• Documentation is now hosted here. (#71)
• Added new examples to the documentation. (#74)
• Font filtering now caches the elements by font. (#73) (updated in #78)
• Font filtering now caches the elements by font. (#73)
• The visualise tool now draws an outline around each section on the page. (#69) (updated in #80)

Changed

• This product is now complete enough for the needs of Optimor Ltd, however jstockwin is going to continue development as a personal project. The repository has been moved from optimor/py-pdf-parser to jstockwin/py-pdf-parser.

v0.2.0

Added

• It is now possible to specify font_size_precision when instantiating a PDFDocument. This is the number of decimal places the font size will be rounded to. (#60)
• extract_simple_table now allows extracting tables with gaps, provided there is at least one full row and one full column. This is only the case if you pass allow_gaps=True, otherwise the original logic of raising an exception if there a gap remains. You can optionally pass a reference_element which must be in both a full row and a full column, this defaults to the first (top-left) element. (#57)

Changed

• Font sizes are now float not int. The font_size_precision in the additions defaults to 1, and as such all fonts will change to have a single decimal place. To keep the old behaviour, you can pass font_size_precision=0 when instantiating your PDFDocument. (#60)

Fixed

• Improved performance of extract_simple_table, which is now much faster. (#65)

v0.1.0

Added

• Initial version of the product. Note: The version is less than 1, so this product should not yet be considered stable. API changes and other breaking changes are possible, if not likely.
