tabula VS ripgrep-all

Another option would be JRuby. I routinely use an application called Tabula, which is built using JRuby and compiles to a Jar file. This, of course, requires Java on the target machine, but you can ship the Jar file and it will work. It's often easier to rely on a working Java environment than it is a working Ruby environment. Especially on Windows.

Idk if it has been suggested yet, tabulapdf is a self hosted solution to extract tables from PDF

For table extraction from pdfs, have a look at Tabula and Camelot, two open-source projects. They work well with clean tables, both the Tabula Python binding and Camelot allow you to export directly as a pandas dataframe. Otherwise AWS Textract API is very efficient at extracting tables from pdfs, regardless of how clean/messy they are.

No idea if it will work for you, but there is a git project that seems to do what you want https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula

While trying to find a specific project I recalled, I encountered this list of projects which might be of interest: https://github.com/tstanislawek/awesome-document-understandi...

The project I had in mind was similar to this one but I can't remember the name currently: https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula

However, if you're looking for a ML-based, invoice-specific project looks like the other comment to your reply might be more useful.

I searched in portage, and it seems there is another version working also with other documents like PDFs and doc.

If you want even faster search across different formats, you can try ripgrep-all ( https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all ). It can search across epub, docx, pdf, zip, mp4 etc. If you are handy with the tool, you can write custom adaptor to search across images using OCR with tesseract.

1. If you want better adoption especially among corporations, GPL-3 wont cut it. Maybe think of some business friendly licenses (MIT etc)

2. I understand the excitement about llm's. But how about making something more accessible. I use rip-grep-all (rga) along with fzf [1] that can search all files including pdfs in a specific folders. However, I would like a GUI tool to search across multiple folders, provide priority of results across folders and store and search histories where I can do a meta-search. This is sufficient for 95% of my usecases to search locally and I dont need LLM. If khoj can enable such search as default without LLM that will be a gamechanger for many people without a heavy compute machine or who dont want to use OpenAI.

I use `rga` to search through multiple PDF files for work. The tool returns a list of files and I would like to make those file paths clickable.

rga, aka ripgrep-all

I wanted to say 'au contrer' to your 'screenshots are not searchable' and link this[0] but I don't actually see images in the readme.. I swear it was there, maybe it's a buried extra flag..
