## README

pdffigures
==========
pdffigures is a command line tool that can be used to extract figures, tables, and captions from scholarly documents. See the [project website](http://pdffigures.allenai.org). 

NOTE: an updated version of this tool written in Scala is available [here](https://github.com/allenai/pdffigures2). The updated version is expected to be generally superior to this one, especially on less standard papers, however there are some cases where this version will run faster (see this [paper](https://ai2-website.s3.amazonaws.com/publications/pdf2.0.pdf) for more details).

### Usage
1. Compile the command line tools:

```make DEBUG=0```

2. Run on a new PDF document and display the results:

```pdffigures -f /path/to/pdf```

See ```pdffigures -help``` for a list of additional command line arguements.

### Dependencies
pdffigures requires [leptonica](http://www.leptonica.com/) and [poppler](http://poppler.freedesktop.org/) to be installed. On MAC both of these dependencies can be installed through homebrew:

```brew install leptonica poppler```

On Ubuntu 14.04 these dependencies can be installed through apt-get:

```sudo apt-get install libpoppler-dev libleptonica-dev```

On Ubuntu >= 15.04:

```sudo apt-get install libpoppler-private-dev libleptonica-dev```

pdffigures has been tested with poppler 3.0,3.4,3.7, although I expect most other versions to be compatible, and leptonica 1.72

pdffigures uses std::regex, therefore compiling on Ubuntu requires g++ >= 4.9

### Support
pdffigures has been tested on MAC OS X 10.9 and 10.10, Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04, and 15.10, Windows is not supported.

### Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with pkg-config and poppler, you might have multiple poppler.pc on your computer. On `Ubuntu 15.10`, a user found one in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/` and one in `/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/`. Make sure to choose the appropriate one (by adding the appropriate path to the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` variable in your `bashrc`.)
