MICROSERVICE FOR TEXT EXTRACTION FROM WORD AND PDF DOCUMENTS

Abstract

This paper will describe the solution of text extraction from documents in Word and PDF format. The solution will be created as a microservice architecture. In addition to the implementation of the solution itself, the libraries required for extraction as well as conversion will be discussed.
