How to use local documents

[klucius1218]

I would like to ask how to use local documentation? I tried to replace the link of pdf_url with the path of my local document, but the error LocationValueError: No host specified. I don't know how to modify, can you help me?

You can try one of two approaches:

Either, you pass a qualified path to the local file to read_pdf (see os.path documentation):

doc = layout_pdf_reader_instance.read_pdf(filepath_full)

or, alternatively, you read the file into a byte buffer and pass that as a file:

with open(filepath_full, "rb") as file_bytes:
    doc = layout_pdf_reader_instance.read_pdf("file.pdf", contents=file_bytes.getvalue())

( I didn't test this code specifically, but I remember having implemented it in a similar fashion )
