What it does
PDF parsing tools for DSH: pdf_info, pdf_extract_text, and pdf_render_page with dual pdfjs and built-in rendering engines, including system-font rendering for PDFs with non-embedded CJK fonts.
Best for
- DSH workflows that need PDF metadata, font information, page-level text extraction, or PNG page rendering.
- Engineers working with EasyEDA or JLC EDA schematic exports whose non-embedded CJK fonts are poorly handled by pdfjs alone.
- Document analysis that benefits from optional text positions and font sizes per line.
Not ideal for
- Text-extraction workflows for scanned or image-only PDFs, which have no text layer.
- Documents with exotic CID fonts that do not follow the sysfont renderer's Unicode-code-point assumption.
- Memory-constrained processing of large PDFs, which are parsed fully into memory.
- Users seeking PDF editing, form filling, or OCR rather than parsing and rendering.
README
@zhtx2026/dsh-pdf
PDF parsing toolkit for DeepSeek Harness — three agent-facing tools (
pdf_info/pdf_extract_text/pdf_render_page) with hybrid engines, including system-font rendering for PDFs with non-embedded CJK fonts (e.g. EasyEDA / JLC EDA schematic exports).

Install
dsh plugin --profile web add @zhtx2026/dsh-pdf
Or from a local checkout during development:
dsh plugin --profile web add link:<path-to-repo>
Then restart DSH (or open a new session) — the three tools and an agent guidance block become available.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
pdf_info |
Page count, page sizes (pt), document metadata, and the font list with per-font embedded flags. |
pdf_extract_text |
Extracts text per page; optional page and withPosition (per-line x/y coordinates + font size). |
pdf_render_page |
Renders one page to a PNG (local file) with configurable scale/outDir; engine auto-selection. |
Why a custom renderer?
pdfjs-dist cannot render text in PDFs whose fonts are not embedded and lack a
ToUnicode map — the classic case is JLC EDA / EasyEDA schematic exports
(SimSun/SimHei Type0 fonts with UniGB-UCS2-H encoding): pdfjs emits
translateFont failed and drops the glyphs.
dsh-pdf solves this with a two-engine design:
- pdfjs engine — used when all fonts are embedded (standard PDFs).
-
sysfont engine — a built-in content-stream renderer that decodes the
PDF text operators (
BT/ET,Tf,Tm,Td,Tj,TJ) itself, mapsUniGB-UCS2-H/UTF-16BE strings to Unicode, and draws them with system fonts (SimSun,SimHei,Microsoft YaHei, …) via@napi-rs/canvas.
Text extraction uses the same auto-selection: embedded fonts → pdfjs text layer; non-embedded fonts → the built-in decoder (which correctly recovers CJK text pdfjs loses).
Example
pdf_info("D:/Downloads/SCH_SA-V11A.pdf")
→ 3 pages, A3 landscape, jsPDF producer, 6 fonts (all non-embedded)
pdf_extract_text("D:/Downloads/SCH_SA-V11A.pdf", { page: 1 })
→ net names, pin numbers, and Chinese labels ("主控板", "嘉立创", …)
pdf_render_page("D:/Downloads/SCH_SA-V11A.pdf", { page: 1, scale: 2 })
→ D:/Downloads/SCH_SA-V11A-pages/page-1.png (2396×1698, engine: sysfont)
Architecture
-
lib/index.js— cordis plugin entry (name,inject,apply); registers the three tools as native tool objects (plain JSON-Schemaparametersandoutput— no@deepseek-ai/dsh-toolsdependency needed) and injects the agent guidance block (systemPrompt.section, order 160). -
lib/pdf-core.js— self-contained engine: PDF object parser, font scanner, pdfjs loading with fs-basedCMapReaderFactory/StandardFontDataFactory(Node 24’s globalfetchdoesn’t speakfile://), the built-in text extractor, and the sysfont renderer. -
cordis.patch.yml— thedsh.bundle.patchinsert row.
Limitations
- Scanned/image-only PDFs have no text layer — extraction returns nothing (rendering still works, as a plain image).
- The sysfont renderer assumes
Type0CID codes equal Unicode code points (true forUniGB-UCS2-Hexports); exotic CID fonts fall back to pdfjs. - Large PDFs are parsed fully into memory.
