Replaces a waterfall chart with text, preserving the SG&A rate values and year-to-year change labels but not the chart as a visual asset in the output.
What was measured
Visual Content Retention
Retains charts, figures, diagrams, and images in the output and places them in the correct reading position.
decisive for this rankingtransformation
For complex PDFs, figures, charts, and images are part of the document content, so preserving them in the right place is part of the core job. (3 of 3 judges)

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
Output — unretouched

Advanced Features✓ WorkedEmits semantic attestation blocks for handwritten-signature regions and a blurry signature stamp, distinguishing the signer/company name and the signature legibility instead of leaving those regions unannotated.Reading Order & Structure✗ 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.Reading Order & Structure✓ WorkedPreserves reading order on a narrative annual-report page by keeping the page title, embedded photo description, paragraphs, and financial-highlights table in sequence.Reading Order & Structure✓ WorkedPreserves section flow and heading-to-body relationships in a scanned report section, keeping the '19. Commitments and Contingencies' heading and the 'Data Breach' subsection attached to the following paragraphs.Table Preservation✓ WorkedReconstructs a five-year financial results table with the 2015–2011 columns and aligned row/value relationships intact in markdown-style rows.

measured on Visual Content Retention
Adobe API✗ FailedDrops handwritten signature images from a scanned signatures page while retaining the surrounding printed legal text, so the signature content is missing from the extracted output.Extend AI◐ MixedRetains charts and logos as standalone figure blocks with captions, but they are extracted out of page position rather than embedded inline.LlamaParse◐ MixedConverts a waterfall chart into a text/table representation, preserving the SG&A rate sequence and deltas but not the chart as a visual object.Mistral AI✓ WorkedVisual assets are extracted into page-specific folders, keeping charts, signatures, and other document elements tied to their source pages instead of collapsing them into one consolidated output.Nutrient.io◐ MixedKeeps the surrounding 3-signatory signature-page text, but does not extract the handwritten signatures themselves.Reducto✗ FailedDoes not retain handwritten signature graphics as images: a signature crop returns only the <signature> placeholder plus the printed name/title, omitting the cursive mark itself.Tensorlake✓ 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.Upstage AI✗ FailedDoes not retain handwritten signature content as visual output on the signatures page, leaving only partial surrounding legal text and no clearly identifiable signatures.
