Export As HTML

[VpkPrasanna]

is there any way from Doctr to render or generate HTML page from the output ?
Input - > PDF or Image
Output -> Rendered or Re-constructed HTML Page

Hi @VpkPrasanna 👋 ,
we have currently not the option to export as html. But you can try to use the tutorial to export as pdfa and than to html (note: this supports currently only straight boxes) :)

[VpkPrasanna]

can you share some insights on how to export it as PDFA ?

[felixdittrich92]

Sure :) https://github.com/mindee/notebooks/blob/main/doctr/export_as_pdfa.ipynb
But take note there is an open PR which is currently not merged and fixes some minor stuff in the notebook i have linked :)

Thanks for the notebook. It works fine but when we use the Generated PDF to convert into HTML format it is not working . is there any work around to export the doctr output into HTML page?

[felixdittrich92]

Hi @VpkPrasanna
you can try to work with the XML output from doctr which contains all information in hOCR format.

xml_output = result.export_as_xml()
for output in xml_output:
  xml_bytes_string = output[0]

scroll down there is an example :)

Yes , i already tried this but the result of XML is no the designated format and when we render it as HTML it is more clumsy .
