docparse-ts

Layout-aware PDF → Markdown + JSON + RAG chunks. TypeScript-native, no Python, no servers.

npm install docparse-ts

import { parseDocument } from "docparse-ts";
import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";

const doc = await parseDocument(new Uint8Array(await readFile("report.pdf")));
console.log(doc.markdown);
const chunks = doc.chunks({ maxTokens: 512, overlap: 64 });

doc exposes markdown, blocks, json, pages, and chunks(). A CLI is included:

npx docparse-ts report.pdf -o report.md --json report.json

This is a self-contained package (the layout core and the pdfjs-dist backend are bundled in). See the project README for the full API, how it works, and current limitations (digital PDFs only; basic geometric tables; no OCR).
