Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library is still in early development (pre-1.0). APIs may change without notice. Pin your version in production.

fix

Use `pdf-oxide==0.3.60` in requirements.txt.

affects: <1.0

gotchaThe library may not handle encrypted or password-protected PDFs. Always test with your specific PDFs.

fix

Pre-decrypt PDFs using another tool before processing with pdf-oxide.

affects: all

gotchaThe `text()` method extracts raw text without layout preservation. For structured extraction, use `markdown()`.

fix

Use `pdf.markdown()` instead of `pdf.text()` for better structure.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `to_text()` method was renamed to `text()` in version 0.3.0. Old method still works but prints a deprecation warning.

fix

Use `pdf.text()` instead of `pdf.to_text()`.

affects: >=0.3.0
