Adobe Extract API - Recognize Math Formula as single image

[gerald_0377]

Hello everyone,

i hope this is the right place to ask my specific question.

As questioned long time ago on Community Board: 

1. https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/math-equation-extraction-from-pdf/td... 
2. https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/pdf-extract-api-math-image-extractio... 

the question is still ongoing. How to extract math formulars as separate image from a PDF.

As example we can take Nr. 2 of the preceding question.

In the Example Project i don't found my anwer: https://github.com/adobe/PDFServices.NET.SDK.Samples 

Perhaps there other solutions, or it is not now implemented as I expected ...

Could anyone help me?

Hi @Anshul_Nautiyal ,

unfortunally this dosent solve my problem, cause i had to know if the product adobe extract service could identify formulars and extract them from a pdf. Unfortunally its not sure if the user has the abillity to write the a math formular in the correct way e.g. Word, in some cases the are only pictures, e.g. copy & paste from a formular-writer ala google.

So thats the problem, there is the need to identify such images/regions as math formular and extract them as image to use them later in the pipline.

Regards

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for....

We have built a product that remediates PDFs to make them accessible.  As part of that process we extract the images and generate an Alt-text description using an LLM.  As part of the process, we generate a report showing the image and the text in a side-by-side view.  Some of the documents we have processed have formulas, and here are a couple of the results.   Is this along the lines of what you are trying to achieve?

@Aftia_Jeff 

in our purpose there is no interaction of a person. We have a bulk process ... otherwise i could take any software if i had to have a look on it ...

Kind regards

@gerald_0377  We bulk process the PDFs; however, with accessibility, there is always a need to manually review the results - hence the report.  My email is jeff.stanier@aftia.com if you want to connect with me, and I'll setup some time to speak with one of our developers.
