Create a PDF Object

Stores a reference to a local PDF file along with a pdftools text extraction. Binary encoding is deferred to format time; providers that support binary PDF encode on demand, others use the stored text fallback.

Usage

pdf_file(.path, pages = NULL, .text_extract = FALSE, engine = NULL)

Arguments

.path

The path to the PDF file on disk.

pages

An integer vector of page numbers to include (e.g. 1:3). NULL uses all pages.

.text_extract

Logical; if TRUE always use pdftools text extraction regardless of provider (equivalent to the old .pdf parameter behaviour). Default FALSE uses binary-first.

engine

Optional engine name (e.g. "mistral-ocr"); a warning is issued if the provider does not support binary PDF and the engine choice cannot be honoured.

Value

A tidyllm_pdf object.
