How to Build a Parsing Pipeline with Docling Parse for Layout-Aware Document Intelligence
In this tutorial, we build a workflow for using Docling Parse to analyze PDF documents at a detailed structural level. We start by preparing a stable Python environment, handling common Colab dependency issues, and generating a custom multi-page PDF with text, columns, table-like content, vector shapes, and an embedded image. We then use Docling Parse to extract words, characters, and lines with page-level coordinates, render visual overlays, and save the results into structured JSON and CSV fi

Datalab Releases lift: A 9B Open-Weights Vision Model That Extracts Structured JSON From PDFs Using Schemas
Datalab has released lift, a 9B open-weights vision model for structured extraction. You pass it a JSON schema, and it returns a JSON object that matches. The model reads PDFs and images directly, then decodes against your schema. This is Datalab’s first model built purely for extraction. The team already ships open-source OCR tools: chandra, marker, and surya. lift extends that work into schema-driven field extraction. lift scores 90.2% field accuracy on Datalab’s 225-documen
