Installation

------------

The `document_clipper` package uses libraries that relies on several command-line tools included in the

`poppler-utils` package such as:

- `pdftohtml`

- `pdfimages`

- `pftocairo`

Before attempting to use `document_clipper`, please install the `poppler-utils` package.

For instance, in Ubuntu, you may do so by running the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ sudo apt-get install poppler-utils

Then, you may install `document_clipper` as usual via Python package managers, such as PIP:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ pip install document_clipper

Features

--------
