Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
geometrybooleanfalseEmit one block per positioned text rectangle, each carrying a bounding box (for the visual layout view), instead of one plain-text block per page.
glyphsbooleanfalseAdditionally attach per-character bounding boxes to each text block (implies geometry). Enables character-precise highlighting; slightly slower.
tier3booleanfalseRender each page and run the kapi-vision layout model over it for authoritative structure — multi-column reading order, borderless tables, figure/caption regions — beyond what page geometry alone recovers. Requires the kapi-vision plugin; falls back to geometric structure (tier 2) when it is not installed. Implies geometry.
