How to use alternate PDF parser backend?

[Ankush-Chander]

Hi team,

Appreciate the work done in this repo.
Was curious how I can I use a different backend(PyPdfiumDocumentBackend) other than default backend(docling-parse).

I am trying it as follows but doesnt see much difference in timing or output.

import spacy
from spacy_layout import spaCyLayout
from docling.backend.pypdfium2_backend import PyPdfiumDocumentBackend
from docling.datamodel.base_models import InputFormat
from docling.datamodel.pipeline_options import PdfPipelineOptions
from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter, PdfFormatOption

source = "path/to/document.pdf"

nlp = spacy.blank("en")
pipeline_options = PdfPipelineOptions()
pipeline_options.do_ocr = False
pipeline_options.do_table_structure = True
pipeline_options.table_structure_options.do_cell_matching = False
layout = spaCyLayout(nlp, docling_options={
     "format_options":{
        InputFormat.PDF: PdfFormatOption(
            pipeline_options=pipeline_options, backend=PyPdfiumDocumentBackend
        )
    }
})
doc = layout(source)

Try instantiate layout like this instead:

layout = spaCyLayout(nlp, docling_options= {
         InputFormat.PDF: PdfFormatOption(pipeline_options=pipeline_options, backend=PyPdfiumDocumentBackend)
     }
 )
