Make PyPDF2 an optional dependency and improve import handling in PDF processor.
Move imports inside methods to allow for lazy loading and better error handling.
Add new 'pdf' optional dependency group in pyproject.toml.
Clean up unused imports and remove deprecated files.
BREAKING CHANGE: PyPDF2 is now an optional dependency. Users need to install with 'pip install crawl4ai[pdf]' to use PDF processing features.
Add JavaScript execution result handling and improve PDF processing capabilities:
- Add js_execution_result to CrawlResult and AsyncCrawlResponse models
- Implement execution result capture in AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
- Add batch processing for PDF pages with configurable batch size
- Enhance JsonElementExtractionStrategy with better schema generation
- Add HTML optimization utilities
BREAKING CHANGE: PDF processing now uses batch processing by default
Add new PDF processing module with the following features:
- PDF text extraction and formatting to HTML/Markdown
- Image extraction with multiple format support (JPEG, PNG, TIFF)
- Link extraction from PDF documents
- Metadata extraction including title, author, dates
- Support for both local and remote PDF files
Also includes:
- New configuration options for HTML attribute handling
- Internal/external link filtering improvements
- Version bump to 0.4.300b4
