OpenDataLoader PDF

OpenDataLoader PDF is an open-source PDF parser that extracts Markdown, JSON with bounding boxes, and HTML from PDF documents, aimed at AI data extraction and retrieval-augmented generation. It runs in a deterministic local mode or an AI hybrid mode for complex pages, and includes built-in OCR in more than 80 languages for scanned documents.

The hybrid mode also handles complex or borderless tables, LaTeX formulas, and AI-generated descriptions of pictures and charts. A separate accessibility feature automatically tags untagged PDFs into screen-reader-ready Tagged PDFs; converting a Tagged PDF further to PDF/UA-1 or PDF/UA-2 compliance is a paid add-on. The auto-tagging was built with Dual Lab, the developers of veraPDF, following the Well-Tagged PDF specification.

It requires Java 11 or newer and Python 3.10 or newer, installs with pip, and has Python, Node.js and Java SDKs. The layout-analysis and auto-tagging feature is licensed Apache-2.0.

  • ai·rete·rag

    ai-rete-rag.com

    A platform that pairs a Rete rule engine with retrieval-augmented generation, so deterministic rules decide an outcome and grounded retrieval explains the decision in plain language.

  • Xtriever

    github.com

    A hybrid retrieval engine for retrieval-augmented generation, written in Rust to run on-device on a phone or a laptop, combining lexical BM25 search, dense embedding search, reciprocal-rank fusion and cross-encoder re-ranking with no server.

  • FileFlux

    github.com

    A .NET library that turns PDF, DOCX, HWP and other documents into optimized chunks for RAG systems, through a five-stage pipeline built on high-performance Rust FFI readers.
