## AI interpretation — verify before relying

PyMuPDF Layout analyzes PDF structure using Graph Neural Networks trained on PDF internals to extract clean, semantically-marked data (Markdown, JSON, TXT) without requiring GPUs or vision models.

Verdict: Production-ready layout analysis tool with strong maintenance signals and no known vulnerabilities. AGPL licensing requires careful evaluation for commercial or closed-source projects. Medium install friction is manageable given broad platform coverage via prebuilt wheels.
