Batch Processing

CLI Batch Processing

# Process all PDFs in a directory
edgeparse ./documents/*.pdf -f markdown --output-dir ./results/

# Process with specific format
edgeparse ./invoices/*.pdf -f json --output-dir ./output/

Python Batch Processing

import edgeparse
from pathlib import Path

input_dir = Path("documents")
output_dir = Path("results")
output_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

for pdf_path in input_dir.glob("*.pdf"):
    edgeparse.convert_file(str(pdf_path), str(output_dir), format="markdown")
    print(f"Processed: {pdf_path.name}")

Node.js Batch Processing

import { convert } from "edgeparse";
import { readdirSync, writeFileSync } from "fs";
import { join, basename } from "path";

const inputDir = "documents";
const outputDir = "results";

const files = readdirSync(inputDir).filter(f => f.endsWith(".pdf"));

for (const file of files) {
  const result = convert(join(inputDir, file), { format: "markdown" });
  const outName = basename(file, ".pdf") + ".md";
  writeFileSync(join(outputDir, outName), result);
  console.log(`Processed: ${file}`);
}

Performance Tips

• EdgeParse processes each page in parallel using Rayon
• For large batches, the CLI handles parallelism automatically
• Expect ~40 pages/second on modern hardware (single-threaded)
