MinerU PDF

Overview

Parse a PDF locally with MinerU (CPU). Default output is Markdown + JSON. Use tables/images only when requested.

Quick start (single PDF)

# Run from the skill directory
./scripts/mineru_parse.sh /path/to/file.pdf

Optional examples:

./scripts/mineru_parse.sh /path/to/file.pdf --format json
./scripts/mineru_parse.sh /path/to/file.pdf --tables --images

When to read references

If flags differ from your wrapper or you need advanced defaults (backend/method/device/threads/format mapping), read:

• references/mineru-cli.md

Output conventions

• Output root defaults to ./mineru-output/.
• MinerU creates the per-document subfolder under the output root (e.g., ./mineru-output/<basename>/...).

Batching

Default is single-PDF parsing. Only implement batch folder parsing if explicitly requested.
