Docling

Docling is an open-source Python framework designed for document intelligence — enabling developers to extract, analyze, and transform information from various document formats such as PDF, DOCX, and image-based files. It simplifies the process of converting unstructured documents into structured data for AI, NLP, and automation workflows.

Features of Docling:

• Provides tools for parsing and processing documents in formats like PDF, DOCX, HTML, and images.
• Supports text extraction, layout analysis, table detection, and metadata retrieval.
• Integrates seamlessly with OCR engines (e.g., Tesseract) for processing scanned or image-based documents.
• Offers a modular Python API for building AI and data pipelines involving document understanding.
• Supports both CPU-only and GPU environments for flexible deployment.
• Ideal for automation, research, enterprise workflows, and document analytics.

To verify the installation and check the version of Docling, run the following commands in your terminal:

$ sudo su
$sudo apt update
$ cd /opt/docling
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ docling --version

Disclaimer: Docling is developed and maintained by the open-source community. It provides a reliable and efficient platform for document extraction and AI-based document processing. Performance and accuracy depend on the quality of input files, OCR configuration, and system resources. Always refer to the official Docling documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
