Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when a long document is too large for a single page-by-page Jev Choice and you want to narrow the search through a hierarchical document tree.
Who it is for
- Developers building question-to-page lookup for long reports or PDFs.
- Researchers who want to narrow document searches from sections to likely answer pages.
- Teams adapting the example workflows to search handbook or report content.
Documented uses
- Find the page likely to answer a natural-language question in a long PDF.
- Navigate a report by selecting likely sections and then pages.
- Use a flat page-choice workflow for a shorter document.
Requirements & limits
- The hierarchical workflow depends on PageIndex to submit the PDF and provide its document structure.
- The documented setup requires both TypeSafe and PageIndex API keys.
- Flat search places page text into one Choice and is constrained by a 32k-token request limit and a maximum of 255 options.
- The repository identifies its license as Apache 2.0.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up Jev Doc Search for PDF page search
Prepare the project and API credentials for the documented PDF search workflows.
Before you start
- Python environment
- The repository’s requirements file
- A TypeSafe API key
- A PageIndex API key
Steps
Install dependencies with the command below.
pip install -r requirements.txtSet the
TYPESAFE_API_KEYenvironment variable.Set the
PAGEINDEX_API_KEYenvironment variable.
Expected outcome
The documented dependencies and credentials are configured for the repository’s flat or PageIndex-backed search examples.
Guide limitations
- These setup steps do not themselves run a search.
- The flat page-search method is limited by Jev’s input-token capacity and a maximum of 255 Choice options.
