Description

Currently TXM doesn't provide any PDF format related import module for the reasons explained here.

We must help to import sources in PDF format because:
  • it is massively used
  • even if the PDF format is not easy to manage, some PDF representations work well
  • some libraries do decent job with respect to some PDF representations

Solution

  • use the PDF Java library used by GROBID (a tool used by a lot of document management platforms)
  • document the fact that PDF import is not perfect
