What is MinerU PDF Parser?

The MinerU PDF parser provides a robust solution for developers needing to extract high-fidelity content from PDF documents locally. By utilizing the MinerU engine, this skill ensures that layouts, tables, and images are accurately captured without the need for cloud-based processing. Integrating this tool into your Openclaw Skills library allows for secure, offline document analysis and data preparation for LLMs.

MinerU PDF Parser Use Cases

  • Local conversion of technical documentation for internal knowledge bases.
  • Automated extraction of tables from financial PDF reports.
  • Preparing unstructured PDF data for vector embeddings within Openclaw Skills.
  • Offline archival of PDF content into human-readable Markdown.

How MinerU PDF Parser Works

  1. Initiate the parsing process by passing a PDF file path to the local script.
  2. The system executes the MinerU CLI using the local CPU backend.
  3. Content is analyzed and segmented into text, tables, and visual elements.
  4. Structured Markdown or JSON files are saved to the designated output folder.
  5. Users can leverage the extracted data for further automation using Openclaw Skills.

MinerU PDF Parser Setup

To begin using the skill, run the parse script from the directory:

./scripts/mineru_parse.sh /path/to/file.pdf

For advanced JSON output with images and tables enabled:

./scripts/mineru_parse.sh /path/to/file.pdf --format json --tables --images

MinerU PDF Parser Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill organizes extracted data into a structured directory pattern:

Path Purpose
./mineru-output/ The default root for all parsed outputs.
./mineru-output/<basename>/ Per-document folder containing all specific extracts.
<basename>.md The primary Markdown representation of the PDF.
<basename>.json Structured data containing metadata and content objects.
images/ Directory containing extracted visual assets if requested.

MinerU PDF Parser Advanced Features
