Summary

  • Run unpdf on fetched PDF bytes (html-get already has them) and stamp title, author, description, date, image, logo, and lang as HTML meta tags.
  • Keep mutool for the body only; metadata is filled even when mutool is disabled or fails.
  • Export extractPdf / pdfToHtml so metascraper HTML rules can read the tags without a second PDF download.

Test plan

  • npx ava test/pdf.js test/html/add-head.js
  • CI green

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added PDF detection, metadata extraction, and PDF-to-HTML conversion utilities.
    • PDF results now include titles, authors, descriptions, dates, publishers, languages, images, and logos.
    • Generated HTML includes richer metadata, Open Graph tags, language settings, and escaped content.
    • Added safe handling for invalid or unreadable PDF files.
    • Improved extraction of metadata from PDF content, embedded properties, and document links.

unpdf already has the bytes; mutool only makes the body.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds PDF metadata extraction, PDF detection, PDF-to-HTML conversion, metadata-aware HTML head generation, public TypeScript declarations, and integration assertions for generated PDF HTML.

Changes

PDF metadata pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
PDF text and layout parsing
src/pdf/text.js, src/pdf/layout.js
Adds shared text classifiers, name splitting, line normalization, header selection, prominent-line detection, and footer filtering.
PDF document and embedded metadata
src/pdf/document.js, src/pdf/embedded.js
Reads PDF pages and images, groups text items into lines, and normalizes embedded PDF metadata.
Derived PDF metadata fields
src/pdf/title.js, src/pdf/author.js, src/pdf/date.js, src/pdf/description.js, src/pdf/publisher.js, src/pdf/lang.js, src/pdf/media.js
Extracts title, authors, date, description, publisher, language, image, and logo values from PDF content and metadata.
PDF extraction and public API wiring
src/pdf/index.js, src/index.js
Adds PDF byte and link detection, safe extraction, metadata assembly, PDF response handling, and public PDF utility exports.
HTML metadata rendering and API declarations
src/html.js, index.d.ts
Adds escaped PDF metadata tags, language handling, the PdfMeta interface, and declarations for PDF utilities.
Dependency and PDF integration validation
package.json, test/pdf.js
Adds the PDF parser dependency and replaces the PDF snapshot assertion with targeted HTML metadata checks.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d9a82

This change adds PDF metadata extraction to the HTML response path, but metadata can be lost for some supported inputs or URLs, and PDF parsing may add unbounded request-time work. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

src/pdf/index.js (1)

126-132: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Log the swallowed error in extractSafe.

catch (_) {} discards every failure, including parser crashes and the TypeError paths described in src/pdf/date.js and src/pdf/publisher.js. The caller then sees undefined and produces HTML without metadata, with no signal. The repository already uses debug-logfmt in src/index.js. Add a debug line here.

♻️ Proposed change
+const debug = require('debug-logfmt')('html-get:pdf')
+
 const extractSafe = async (input, url, opts) => {
   const pdf = toBytes(input)
   if (!isPdf(pdf)) return
   try {
     return await extract({ url, pdf, ...opts })
-  } catch (_) {}
+  } catch (error) {
+    debug('extract:error', { url, message: error.message || error })

5-7: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The generated data URIs can be very large.

MAX_PIXELS allows 160000 pixels. With 4 channels that is 640 KB of raw data before deflate, and base64 inflates the result by about 33%. src/html.js writes the value into an og:image meta tag, so the returned HTML can grow by roughly a megabyte per PDF. Consider a byte cap on the encoded output, and drop the image when the cap is exceeded.

deflateSync also blocks the event loop for the whole encode. If this runs on a request path, prefer the async deflate form.

Also applies to: 34-53

80-82: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Support declared Node versions and cache the PNG conversion. The package declares node >= 10, but findLast requires Node 18 or later. Replace it with a compatible lookup or raise engines.node. When only one usable image exists, reuse its generated data URI for both image and logo.

Inline comments:
In `@src/index.js`:
- Around line 56-66: Bound the extractSafe call in the PDF handling path to the
remaining request timeout budget, or restore opt-in behavior so extraction runs
only when mutool is configured. Preserve the existing office-format bypass and
PDF response handling while ensuring large or malformed PDFs cannot exceed the
request’s timeout.
- Line 113: Update the prerender flow around pdfMeta and addHtml so extracted
PDF metadata is retained for extensionless application/pdf responses when
isPdfUrl is false. Ensure the prerender payload carries pdfMeta through to
addHtml, and add a regression test covering this response type.

In `@src/pdf/document.js`:
- Around line 56-60: Update readDocument to normalize ArrayBuffer and
ArrayBufferView inputs into a byte-level view, preserving raw bytes for
multi-byte views, then copy the normalized bytes before passing them to
getDocumentProxy; retain support for existing documented inputs and add tests
covering ArrayBuffer and DataView inputs.

In `@src/pdf/index.js`:
- Around line 73-80: Normalize the caller-supplied URL at the top of extract in
src/pdf/index.js and pass either an absolute URL string or null to getDate,
getPublisher, and getLang; update src/pdf/date.js lines 50-61 to catch invalid
new URL(url) parsing and return null, and src/pdf/publisher.js lines 56-63 to
return null before accessing length when name is not a non-empty string. In
src/index.js lines 473-481, validate url in pdfToHtml before addHtml so addHead
receives only a safe value.

In `@src/pdf/media.js`:
- Around line 55-64: Update the usable image filter to require
ArrayBuffer.isView(img.data) alongside the existing truthiness check, ensuring
only typed-array data reaches the code that accesses buffer, byteOffset, and
byteLength.

In `@src/pdf/title.js`:
- Around line 21-41: Stop treating line.index as an array position: in
src/pdf/title.js lines 21-41, update titleLines to resolve adjacent entries by
their index property; in src/pdf/author.js lines 56-59, apply the same lookup in
toAuthor and make expandAuthorLines return one consistent line representation,
avoiding mixed filtered indices and positional reads. Do not rely on headerLines
preserving array alignment.

addHtml still stamps the tags; callers do not need a second

Assert the fixture’s actual PDF metadata output.

Assert omission of author, date, article:published_time, and og:image. Assert the fallback og:logo value and og:locale directly. Replace the description length check with an exact value check.
