README

⚠️ **This repository is archived. Samples now live in the pdfparser library itself ⚠️

This repository is a collection of PDF files together with structured data about their contents in YAML form.

Objective of this repository

The objective of this repository is two-fold:

• Provide a variety of PDF files by different generators for testing/benchmarking purposes.
• Provide structured data about the contents of those files to test output of conforming parsers.

File organization

The samples are organized in subdirectories by generator as follows:

• generator-name
  • sample-description
    • file.pdf
    • contents.yml
    • images (optional)
      • page_0_image_0.png (page number and index of image on page, file extension based on image type)

Contents.yml

The contents.yml file contains structured data about the contents of the PDF file. The schema is defined in schema.json in the root of this repository.

Properties can be added but not removed or renamed between minor versions to preserve BC.
