What was given, what came back
Test input: Hybrid Earnings Report · pdf · group: hybrid-earnings-report
Input — what we sent
A long, real-world hybrid annual report used to benchmark end-to-end PDF-to-markdown conversion. It combines native text, financial tables, charts/graphics, and scanned signature/stamp regions, stressing preservation of document structure, reading order, and embedded visual content across a multi-section report.
Why this input is hard
- · Native digital text extraction
- · Complex financial table preservation
- · Chart and graphic retention
- · Image-based signatures and stamps
- · Reading order across a long multi-section report
- · Markdown quality and consistency

Advanced Features✓ WorkedProvides separate chart extraction for the SG&A waterfall, outputting chart metadata with a title, axis labels, 10 category labels, and a numeric series instead of only inline prose.Complex Document Handling✓ WorkedProcesses an 84-page mixed-content annual report without collapsing the hierarchy, keeping text, tables, charts, and scanned signatures usable within the extracted workflow.Reading Order & Structure✓ WorkedPreserves heading order and section relationships in an 84-page hybrid annual report, keeping the narrative, bullets, and figure placement aligned with the source flow.Table Preservation✓ WorkedKeeps a 5-year financial summary table structured, retaining the row/column relationships across sales, expenses, EBIT, and per-share rows instead of flattening the table.Text & OCR Completeness◐ MixedOn a blurry Ernst & Young signoff, the OCR preserves the firm reference but makes a symbol-level mistake by rendering the ampersand as '+', so the text is close but not exact.Visual Content Retention✓ WorkedRetains scanned signature-page visuals as figure blocks plus signer text, including named executives and dates, rather than dropping the signature regions from the output.
