⁠How to use this docker image

The docker image uses /data folder as a volume where document will be read/written. Hence the user needs to provide the folder that would be mapped to /data

For example, Download BookReporter.pdf⁠ file to the Downloads folder of your home directory (~/Downloads)

To extract text from BookReporter.pdf and save it to file BookReporter.txt, run

docker run \
--rm \
-v "`pwd`:/data" \
kunalshah/textract:latest \
-o converted.txt \
file.pdf

See converted text file

cat converted.txt
