PDF documents lose structure and reading order when fed into LLM pipelines

Developers building RAG pipelines and AI agents struggle to convert PDFs into clean, structured markdown that preserves tables, formulas, and reading order. Generic PDF extractors produce garbled output that degrades retrieval quality. The gap is a reliable, production-grade conversion layer that treats PDF structure as a first-class concern rather than an afterthought.

Messy PDF extraction breaks RAG pipeline context quality
