tried to get an impression on PyMuPDF’s performance. While we know this is very hard and a fair comparison is almost impossible, we feel that we at least should provide some quantitative information to available. We have seen however some analysis, that hints at a much lower performance than MuPDF. Our comparison of text extraction speeds also show a much lower performance of Poppler’s PDF code base Xpdf. also have compared text extraction speed with other tools. The following table shows a run time comparison. PyMuPDF’s methods appear as “fitz (TEXT)” and “fitz (JSON)” respectively. The tool pdftotext
