- I want to convert a well-formatted PDF file (text, not scanned) to Markdown or plain text. What is the best library for that?
- Googling doesn't offer much help, and results using AI OCR come up. But I don't need that.
- I will need to work with PDF files that are in English, and are well formatted. I need Markdown as output. Even plaintext is okay.
- How do I achieve this?
- AI chatbots suggest a pipeline of pdfplumber, beautifulsoup, Markdownify
- Is this the best way?
- What would you suggest?
