Scenario requirements
Enterprises or developers often need to batch process multiple formats in the local environment (PDF/Word/PPT, etc.) of the automated text extraction, while ensuring data security.
Kreuzberg Solutions
- Multi-format support: 20+ document formats (including .docx/.pptx, etc.) supported through Pandoc integration
- localization: all processing is done locally and does not rely on cloud services
- automatic assembly line: scripts can be written to batch process all documents in a folder
Implementation steps
- Install the necessary components:
- Kreuzberg:
pip install kreuzberg - Pandoc: download the corresponding installation package according to the system
- Kreuzberg:
- Create batch scripts:
from kreuzberg import Kreuzberg import os extractor = Kreuzberg() for file in os.listdir('docs_folder'): text = extractor.extract_text(f'docs_folder/{file}') with open(f'output/{file}.txt', 'w') as f: f.write(text) - Setting up timed tasks or triggers for full automation
Optimization Recommendations
- Create processing queues for different formats
- Add an exception handling mechanism to document failures
- Consider multithreading for large numbers of small files
