Built on the lightning-fast C engine MuPDF, is widely considered the "Swiss Army knife" of the ecosystem. It excels at almost everything: blazing-fast text extraction with pixel-perfect positioning, table detection, page rendering to images, and adding annotations or redactions. It is the go-to choice for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines thanks to its companion product, PyMuPDF4LLM , which outputs clean Markdown and JSON perfect for LLMs. Use PyMuPDF when you need to do almost anything from one cohesive library.
Reproducible PDF automation. Treat PDF generation as a pure function: input JSON + template → output PDF. Cache every intermediate result (using joblib or fsspec ). This strategy enables checkpointing: if page 47 of 500 fails, you resume from page 46 without redoing watermarks, merges, or OCR. Whether your application is primarily or CPU-bound
