Hybrid Earnings Report
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.Markdown Quality✓ WorkedRenders the extraction as structured, copyable markdown in the Document Markdown view rather than a flat text dump.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.

Extend AI✓ WorkedMaintains report hierarchy and reading flow in an 84-page annual report, keeping section text, bullets, and business narrative aligned instead of flattening them.Landing AI✗ FailedFlattens a top-level page heading into plain text, losing heading semantics on a page that should read as a structured annual-report story page.LlamaParse✓ WorkedKeeps the report's heading-and-paragraph sequence intact instead of flattening the page into disconnected text blocks.Mistral AI◐ MixedHeading hierarchy is reconstructed inconsistently, so some parts of the document are flattened even though the underlying content is still recovered.Nutrient.io✓ WorkedPreserves the section hierarchy and bullet-point reading order on the sample page, keeping the 'A Growth Story Again' heading tied to its paragraph and 4 bullets in sequence.Reducto✓ WorkedLinearizes a two-column page correctly, reading the full left column, including all four bullets, before the right-column continuation appears, with no interleaving or sequence inversion.Upstage AI✗ FailedBreaks the two-column reading order on the annual-report page, so headings and body text no longer follow the source navigation cleanly.
