# `langchain_community.document_loaders.pdf`.UnstructuredPDFLoader

class langchain_community.document_loaders.pdf.UnstructuredPDFLoader(file_path: Optional[Union[str, List[str], Path, List[Path]]], mode: str = 'single', **unstructured_kwargs: Any)

  Load PDF files using Unstructured.

  You can run the loader in one of two modes: “single” and “elements”. If you use “single” mode, the document will be returned as a single langchain Document object. If you use “elements” mode, the unstructured library will split the document into elements such as Title and NarrativeText. You can pass in additional unstructured kwargs after mode to apply different unstructured settings.

  Examples

  from langchain_community.document_loaders import UnstructuredPDFLoader

  loader = UnstructuredPDFLoader(

    “example.pdf”, mode=”elements”, strategy=”fast”,

  ) docs = loader.load()

  async alazy_load() → AsyncIterator[Document]

    A lazy loader for Documents.

    Return type

      AsyncIterator[Document]

  async aload() → List[Document]

    Load data into Document objects.

    Return type

      List[Document]

  lazy_load() → Iterator[Document]

    Load file.

    Return type

      Iterator[Document]

  load() → List[Document]
