Learning(DL)-based approaches are the state-of-the-art for a wide range of\ndocument image analysis (DIA) tasks including document image classiﬁcation [11,\narXiv:2103.15348v2  [cs.CV]  21 Jun 2021\n', lookup_str='', metadata={'file_path': 'example_data/layout-parser-paper.pdf', 'page_number': 1, 'total_pages': 16, 'format': 'PDF 1.5', 'title': '', 'author': '', 'subject': '', 'keywords': '', 'creator': 'LaTeX with hyperref', 'producer': 'pdfTeX-1.40.21', 'creationDate': 'D:20210622012710Z', 'modDate': 'D:20210622012710Z', 'trapped': '', 'encryption': None}, lookup_index=0)


Additionally, you can pass along any of the options from the PyMuPDF documentation as keyword arguments in the load call, and it will be pass along to the get_text() call.

Jane was A\r\n                       Fine White Woman. White Tarzan used\r\n                       to Beat up The Black Natives. I would\r\n                       sit there yelling "Kill The Beasts,\r\n                       Kill The Savages, Kill \'Em!" Actually\r\n                       I was saying: "Kill Me." It was

It takes time\r\n                       to reject the most Important Lie:\r\n


Lie:\r\n                       that Black People inherently can\'t do\r\n                       the same things White People can do\r\n                       unless White People help them.\r\n          The Audience laughing, overwhelmed, shouting back support!
