Installation

// config/bundles.php
Wexample\SymfonyRemote\WexampleSymfonyRemoteBundle::class => ['all' => true],
Wexample\SymfonyRemoteDocumentReader\WexampleSymfonyRemoteDocumentReaderBundle::class => ['all' => true],

# config/packages/wexample_symfony_remote_document_reader.yaml
wexample_symfony_remote_document_reader:
  url: '%env(default::DOCUMENT_READER_URL)%'   # e.g. http://document_reader:8000

Without a URL the remote reports itself unconfigured and every call throws.

symfony-remote-document-reader is the Symfony client of a document-reader service, which reads documents written by others in a sandbox, never in the application's process. DocumentReaderClient is declared as a symfony-remote, so remote:status checks the service.

read() posts any document docling reads (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, HTML, images…) and returns a DocumentReading in the shared norm, the same document, attachments and output that pdf-factory renders from:

• the content of the pages, read by docling;
• for a PDF, what the file says about itself, its attachments with their bytes, and its Factur-X.

The package knows no document of its own: what an invoice's XML says is read by the package that owns invoices.
