docling-hierarchical-pdf

This package enables inference of header hierarchy in the docling PDF parsing pipeline.

The docs are still in the making, but as a user all you need is:

Install it:

pip install docling-hierarchical-pdf

Use it:

from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter
from hierarchical.postprocessor import ResultPostprocessor

source = "my_file.pdf"  # document per local path or URL
converter = DocumentConverter()
result = converter.convert(source)
# the postprocessor modifies the result.document in place.
ResultPostprocessor(result).process()

# enjoy the reordered document - for example convert it to markdown
result.document.export_to_markdown()

# or use a chunker on it...

or for the VLM-pipeline

from docling.datamodel.base_models import InputFormat
from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter, PdfFormatOption
from docling.pipeline.vlm_pipeline import VlmPipeline

source = "my_scanned.pdf"  # document per local path or URL

converter = DocumentConverter(
    format_options={
        InputFormat.PDF: PdfFormatOption(
            pipeline_cls=VlmPipeline,
        ),
    }
)
result = converter.convert(source=source)
ResultPostprocessor(result).process()

# enjoy the reordered document - for example convert it to markdown
result.document.export_to_markdown()

# or use a chunker on it...
