From 31fade973052a763322b61b06301ba7bc8ee03b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Coutinho Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 03:11:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Optimize PDF processing with parallel extraction and single-render highlights MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phase 1 - PDF Highlighting Optimization: - Render each page ONCE instead of once per chunk (N chunks = 1 render, not N) - Use PIL to draw bounding boxes on copied base images (fast) instead of re-rendering page via pymupdf (slow) - Add _find_chunk_bbox() to extract bbox without modifying page Phase 2 - Parallel Page Extraction: - Use anyio task group with run_sync() for parallel page extraction - Each page extracted in separate thread via anyio.to_thread.run_sync() - Event loop stays responsive during extraction - Remove obsolete _process_sync() method Expected improvement: 30-50% reduction in total PDF processing time. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../document_processors/pymupdf.py | 195 +++++++++--------- .../search/pdf_highlighter.py | 149 +++++++++---- 2 files changed, 212 insertions(+), 132 deletions(-) diff --git a/nextcloud_mcp_server/document_processors/pymupdf.py b/nextcloud_mcp_server/document_processors/pymupdf.py index a3e45de..ace248e 100644 --- a/nextcloud_mcp_server/document_processors/pymupdf.py +++ b/nextcloud_mcp_server/document_processors/pymupdf.py @@ -99,129 +99,132 @@ class PyMuPDFProcessor(DocumentProcessor): try: if progress_callback: - await progress_callback(0, 100, "Processing PDF in background thread") + await progress_callback(0, 100, "Opening PDF document") - # Run CPU-bound PDF processing in thread pool to avoid blocking event loop - result = await anyio.to_thread.run_sync( # type: ignore[attr-defined] - self._process_sync, - content, - filename, + # Open document and extract metadata in thread + doc = await anyio.to_thread.run_sync( # type: ignore[attr-defined] + lambda: pymupdf.open("pdf", content) ) + metadata = self._extract_metadata(doc, filename) + metadata["file_size"] = len(content) + page_count = doc.page_count + + if progress_callback: + await progress_callback(10, 100, f"Extracting {page_count} pages") + + # Prepare image directory if needed + pdf_image_dir = None + if self.extract_images: + pdf_id = filename.replace("/", "_") if filename else "unknown" + pdf_image_dir = self.image_dir / pdf_id + pdf_image_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True, parents=True) + + # OPTIMIZATION: Extract pages in parallel using anyio task group + page_texts = await self._extract_pages_parallel( + doc, page_count, pdf_image_dir + ) + + if progress_callback: + await progress_callback(90, 100, "Building result") + + # Calculate page boundaries (sequential, fast) + page_boundaries = [] + current_offset = 0 + for page_num, page_md in enumerate(page_texts): + page_boundaries.append( + { + "page": page_num + 1, + "start_offset": current_offset, + "end_offset": current_offset + len(page_md), + } + ) + current_offset += len(page_md) + + # Collect image paths + image_paths = [] + if pdf_image_dir and pdf_image_dir.exists(): + image_paths = [str(p) for p in pdf_image_dir.glob("*")] + + # Build final text and metadata + md_text = "".join(page_texts) + metadata["has_images"] = len(image_paths) > 0 + if image_paths: + metadata["image_count"] = len(image_paths) + metadata["image_paths"] = image_paths + metadata["page_boundaries"] = page_boundaries + + # Close document + doc.close() + if progress_callback: await progress_callback(100, 100, "Processing complete") - return result + logger.info( + f"Successfully processed PDF {filename or ''}: " + f"{metadata['page_count']} pages, {len(md_text)} chars, " + f"{metadata.get('image_count', 0)} images" + ) + + return ProcessingResult( + text=md_text, + metadata=metadata, + processor=self.name, + success=True, + ) except Exception as e: error_msg = f"Failed to process PDF {filename or ''}: {e}" logger.error(error_msg, exc_info=True) raise ProcessorError(error_msg) from e - def _process_sync( + async def _extract_pages_parallel( self, - content: bytes, - filename: Optional[str] = None, - ) -> ProcessingResult: - """Synchronous PDF processing (runs in thread pool). + doc: pymupdf.Document, + page_count: int, + pdf_image_dir: pathlib.Path | None, + ) -> list[str]: + """Extract text from all pages in parallel using anyio.
