crw-parse — local file extraction

When to use

• The source is a file on disk (PDF), not a web page.
• Step 5 in the crw ladder. If you have a URL, use crw-scrape (step 2) instead — scrape handles remote PDFs via URL. If you want a typed JSON object from a page, see crw-extract (step 6).
• PDF only. DOCX, XLSX, and other office formats are not yet supported (unlike Firecrawl's document endpoint). If you have a non-PDF document, convert it to PDF first or use an external tool.

Quick start

CLI — crw scrape auto-detects a local file path and routes to the PDF parser; there is no separate crw parse subcommand:
