pdf-inspector is a fast Rust library for PDF classification and text extraction, built by Firecrawl. It detects whether a PDF is text-based or scanned, extracts text with position awareness, and converts documents to clean Markdown, all without OCR. That classification enables smart routing: per the project, text-based PDFs are handled locally in under 200ms, so you only send the scanned ones to expensive OCR. Bindings are available for Python, Node.js, and browser WebAssembly.
