`get_text_from_layout_json` throws `'NoneType' object is not subscriptable` for a specific PDF
get_text_from_layout_json throws 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable for a specific PDF.
Unfortunately, I can't share the specific PDF for privacy reasons — but this line seems to be the cause: https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-textract-textractor/blob/9fb7d2286a12cadcaf43ae41ef7806591415b079/prettyprinter/textractprettyprinter/t_pretty_print_layout.py#L173 Might also be an issue with Textract's output itself, rather than this library's parsing. This issue seems isolated to a specific PDF, and other pdfs work fine. Notes: seems to be something related to the metadata / structure of the file itself, multiple runs + changing orientiation + deleting pages does not seem to fix the issue.
Is this an error than anyone else has encountered / figured out a resolution for?
Found the specific issue: it is possible for a LAYOUT_FIGURE to have "Relationships": null which breaks this function:
