Multi-value flags (e.g., `--profile NAME`) may be repeated; order is preserved. +2. Flag arguments MUST use `--flag=value` or `--flag value` syntax (both are accepted). +3. The PDF path is the first positional argument to `extract`. Use `-` to read PDF bytes from stdin (for remote sources or in-memory PDFs). +4. `--json` is implicit for `extract` when neither `--text` nor `--output PATH` is specified. +5. `--output PATH` writes JSON to a file; stdout contains only the path to that file on success. + +**Examples:** +```bash +# Basic extraction (JSON to stdout) +pdftract extract document.pdf + +# Plain text output +pdftract extract document.pdf --text + +# JSON to file (stdout contains only the file path on success) +pdftract extract document.pdf --output /tmp/result.json + +# With profile and cache +pdftract extract document.pdf --profile scientific_paper --cache-dir /var/cache/pdftract + +# Remote source (PDF bytes fetched via HTTP, piped to stdin) +curl -s https://example.com/doc.pdf | pdftract extract - + +# Multi-format output (JSON + Markdown + plain text) +pdftract extract document.pdf --json --md --text --output-dir /tmp/outputs +``` + +### stdin Discipline + +stdin is used for two purposes: password ingress and PDF bytes. + +**Password ingress (`--password-stdin`):** +- When `--password-stdin` is present, pdftract reads **exactly one line** from stdin and uses it as the PDF password. +- The line is stripped of the trailing newline but NOT whitespace-trimmed. +- After reading the password, stdin is NOT consumed further; the PDF must be provided via a positional argument (not stdin). +- The password value is NEVER logged, appears in no diagnostic output, and is redacted from `--capture-diagnostics` archives. +- **TH-07**: `--password VALUE` on the command line is REJECTED unless `PDFTRACT_INSECURE_CLI_PASSWORD=1` is set. SDKs MUST use `--password-stdin` or `PDFTRACT_PASSWORD` instead. + +**PDF bytes from stdin:** +- When the PDF path is `-`, pdftract reads the entire PDF byte stream from stdin. +- This is the canonical way to handle remote sources (HTTP-fetched PDFs) or in-memory PDFs without writing to disk. +- stdin is read to EOF; the binary does NOT prompt or interact. +- When `-` is used as the path, `--password-stdin` cannot be used simultaneously (both would consume stdin). Use `PDFTRACT_PASSWORD` instead. + +**Example:** +```bash +# Password via stdin +echo "secret123" | pdftract extract --password-stdin encrypted.pdf + +# Remote PDF fetched via curl, piped to pdftract +curl -s https://example.com/doc.pdf | pdftract extract - + +# DO NOT DO THIS (TH-07 violation -- rejected unless opt-in): +pdftract extract encrypted.pdf --password secret123 +``` + +### stdout Discipline + +stdout carries ONLY the extraction output in structured form. NOTHING else may be written to stdout. + +**`extract` subcommand:** +- In `--json` mode (default): a single JSON object conforming to `docs/schema/v1.0/pdftract.schema.json`. No trailing newlines beyond the JSON structure. +- In `--text` mode: plain text, UTF-8 encoded. Lines are separated by `\n`. No trailing metadata. +- In `--output PATH` mode: the absolute path to the output file is written to stdout on success. On error, stderr contains the diagnostic and stdout is empty. +- **Critical**: SDKs that mix log lines into stdout break JSON parsing. The binary MUST keep stdout clean. + +**`serve` / `mcp --bind` modes:** +- stdout is NOT used for request responses. HTTP responses go to the socket; MCP JSON-RPC frames go to the transport (stdio for MCP stdio mode, HTTP for MCP `--bind` mode). +- Log lines are routed to stderr via the `log` crate (see stderr discipline). + +**INV-9 (MCP stdio mode):** In MCP stdio mode, stdout MUST contain ONLY JSON-RPC frames. Any non-JSON-RPC byte breaks the protocol. + +### stderr Discipline + +stderr carries human-readable logs, progress events, and diagnostics. The format is NOT machine-parseable (except for `--progress-json` mode, see below). + +**Log levels (controlled by `RUST_LOG`):** +- `error`: Fatal errors that prevent extraction (e.g., "cannot open input file"). +- `warn`: Non-fatal issues (e.g., "cache miss, extracting from PDF"). +- `info` (default): High-level progress (e.g., "extracting page 5 of 10", "profile matched: scientific_paper"). +- `debug`: Per-phase timing, resolved options (passwords redacted), per-page glyph/span counts. +- `trace`: Detailed phase internals (cache key derivation steps, etc.). + +**Progress events (when `--progress-json` is set):** +- Each event is emitted as a single-line JSON object on stderr, newline-delimited (ndjson format). +- See `--progress-json` schema below. + +**NEVER logged at any level:** +- Password values (PDF, MCP, inspector) — redacted as `` +- Bearer-token values — redacted as `` +- PDF byte contents — only the SHA-256 fingerprint is logged +- Full extracted text — only span/page counts +- `Cookie`, `Authorization`, or `Proxy-Authorization` HTTP headers + +### Exit Code Taxonomy + +pdftract follows the sysexits(3) convention. Every exit code below 64 is reserved; codes 64–78 are application-specific. + +| Exit Code | Name | Meaning | TH Reference | +|-----------|------|---------|--------------| +| 0 | SUCCESS | Extraction completed successfully. | — | +| 64 | USAGE_ERROR | Invalid command-line arguments, unknown flags, conflicting options. | — | +| 65 | DATA_ERROR | Malformed PDF (cannot parse xref, trailer, or page tree). | — | +| 66 | PASSWORD_MISSING | PDF is encrypted but no password was provided. | TH-07 | +| 67 | CANNOT_OPEN_INPUT | File not found or permission denied. | — | +| 70 | INTERNAL_ERROR | Unexpected panic or bug (should never happen in production). | INV-8 | +| 73 | CANNOT_CREATE_OUTPUT | Cannot write to `--output PATH` (permission denied, disk full, etc.). | — | +| 74 | IO_ERROR | Generic I/O error (read failure, network timeout for remote source). | — | +| 75 | TEMP_FAILURE | Temporary failure; retry may succeed (e.g., remote source returned 503). | — | +| 77 | PERMISSION_DENIED | Insufficient permissions (e.g., `--root DIR` traversal blocked). | TH-02 | +| 78 | CONFIG_ERROR | Configuration error (invalid profile YAML, missing required `--auth-token` on public MCP bind). | TH-03 (line 874) | + +**TH-03 (exit 78):** `pdftract mcp --bind 0.0.0.0:PORT` without `--auth-token` or `PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN` aborts with exit code 78 and a stderr message explaining the risk. Loopback binds (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`) are exempt. + +**TH-07 (password handling):** Using `--password VALUE` without `PDFTRACT_INSECURE_CLI_PASSWORD=1` exits with code 64 (USAGE_ERROR) and a stderr hint to use `--password-stdin` or `PDFTRACT_PASSWORD` instead. + +### Environment Variable Pass-Through + +The following environment variables are recognized by pdftract. SDKs SHOULD set them explicitly when the corresponding behavior is desired. + +| Variable | Purpose | Secret? | +|----------|---------|---------| +| `PDFTRACT_PASSWORD` | PDF decryption password. | YES — never logged | +| `PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN` | MCP server bearer token (for `--auth-token`). | YES — never logged | +| `PDFTRACT_INSECURE_CLI_PASSWORD` | Set to `1` to allow `--password VALUE` (TH-07 opt-out). | NO | +| `PDFTRACT_INSECURE_CLI_TOKEN` | Set to `1` to allow `--auth-token VALUE`. | NO | +| `RUST_LOG` | Log level filter (e.g., `pdftract=debug`). | NO | +| `NO_COLOR` | Disable ANSI colors in stderr output. | NO | +| `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` | Base directory for profile search (overrides `~/.config`). | NO | +| `PDFTRACT_CONFIG_DIR` | Explicit profile directory path (overrides XDG default). | NO | + +**Secret handling:** +- Secret-bearing variables (`PDFTRACT_PASSWORD`, `PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN`) are NEVER emitted in logs, diagnostics, or `--capture-diagnostics` archives. +- They are held in `secrecy::SecretString` to prevent accidental `Debug` prints. + +### `--progress-json` Event Schema + +When `--progress-json` is passed, pdftract emits newline-delimited JSON objects to stderr, one per event. This allows SDKs to parse progress without scraping human-readable logs. + +**Event types:** + +```jsonc +// Extraction started +{"event":"open","fingerprint":"pdftract-v1:abcd...","path":"document.pdf","version":"1.0.0"} + +// Page processing started +{"event":"page_started","page":5,"total":10} + +// Page processing completed +{"event":"page_completed","page":5,"span_count":123,"block_count":12} + +// OCR started (Phase 5.4) +{"event":"ocr_started","page":3,"engine":"tesseract","lang":"eng"} + +// OCR completed +{"event":"ocr_completed","page":3,"duration_ms":1234} + +// Profile matched (Phase 7.10) +{"event":"profile_matched","profile":"scientific_paper","priority":100} + +// Password received (TH-07 — NEVER includes the password value) +{"event":"password_received","source":"stdin"} // or "env", "mcp_body", "form_field" + +// Extraction completed successfully +{"event":"completed","duration_ms":5678,"page_count":10} + +// Fatal error (extraction aborted) +{"event":"error","code":"PASSWORD_WRONG","message":"Incorrect password","exit_code":66} +``` + +**Parsing:** +- Each line is valid JSON. SDKs read stderr line-by-line and `JSON.parse()` each line. +- The `event` field discriminates the type; additional fields are event-specific. +- Human-readable log lines are still emitted to stderr intermixed with JSON lines. SDKs should filter by attempting JSON parse first; lines that fail to parse are human logs. + +### `--capture-diagnostics` Archive Layout + +When `--capture-diagnostics PATH` is passed, pdftract creates a diagnostic archive on error or when explicitly requested. The archive is attached to bug reports for reproduction. + +**Archive formats:** +- `.zip` (default) — Use when `zip` command is available. +- `.tar.gz` — Fallback when `zip` is not available. + +**Contained files:** + +``` +diagnostics-20260516-123456.zip +├── manifest.json # Archive metadata (version, timestamp, exit code) +├── runtime_config.json # Extraction options with secrets REDACTED +├── stderr.log # Captured stderr (passwords REDACTED) +├── pdf_fingerprint.txt # SHA-256 fingerprint of the input PDF +├── pdf_source_sanitized.pdf # PDF with all text content replaced by placeholders +└── version.txt # `pdftract --version` output +``` + +**`manifest.json` schema:** +```json +{ + "captured_at": "2026-05-16T12:34:56Z", + "pdftract_version": "1.0.0", + "exit_code": 65, + "exit_reason": "DATA_ERROR", + "diagnostic_codes": ["XREF_REPAIRED", "STREAM_BOMB"], + "pdf_fingerprint": "pdftract-v1:abcd...", + "options_redacted": true +} +``` + +**`runtime_config.json` schema:** +```json +{ + "subcommand": "extract", + "args": ["document.pdf", "--profile", "scientific_paper"], + "env": { + "RUST_LOG": "pdftract=info", + "PDFTRACT_PASSWORD": "", + "PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN": "" + } +} +``` + +**Secret scrubbing (TH-08):** +- `PDFTRACT_PASSWORD` value → `""` +- `PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN` value → `""` +- Full extracted text → NOT included (only span counts in stderr.log) +- PDF source → `pdf_source_sanitized.pdf` replaces all text content with placeholder glyphs (`[` / `]`) but preserves structure + +**Rotation:** Archives are NOT auto-rotated.
