From 2cdc44a6ced74ebc4a95518e27078f402868e777 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jedarden Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 12:21:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat(pdftract-529te): implement per-page block serializer Implement serialize_page_text() function that iterates blocks in reading order, filters by block-kind (Header/Footer/Watermark), joins block texts per kind-specific rules, and separates blocks with \n\n. - Add new text.rs module with TextOptions and serialize_page_text() - Paragraph/Heading/Caption/Quote: use pre-computed block text - List/Code: preserve newlines from pre-computed text - Figure: emit empty string - Empty blocks omitted (no spurious newlines) - Headers/footers/watermarks excluded by default, configurable Closes: pdftract-529te Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs | 2 + crates/pdftract-core/src/text.rs | 468 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ notes/pdftract-529te.md | 96 +++++++ 3 files changed, 566 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/pdftract-core/src/text.rs create mode 100644 notes/pdftract-529te.md diff --git a/crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs b/crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs index 86a0bc3..22c7b5f 100644 --- a/crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs +++ b/crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs @@ -50,6 +50,7 @@ pub mod semaphore; pub mod signature; pub mod span_flags; pub mod table; +pub mod text; pub mod threads; // Re-export key types for convenience @@ -74,6 +75,7 @@ pub use schema::{ AttachmentJson, BlockJson, CellJson, ExtractionQuality, RowJson, SpanJson, SpanRef, TableJson, }; pub use table::{GridCandidate, PageContext as TablePageContext, TableDetector}; +pub use text::{serialize_page_text, TextOptions}; #[cfg(feature = "ocr")] pub use dpi::{select_dpi, FontSizeSpan, Pdf1Filter}; diff --git a/crates/pdftract-core/src/text.rs b/crates/pdftract-core/src/text.rs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ff9e488 --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/pdftract-core/src/text.rs @@ -0,0 +1,468 @@ +//!
