PDF to Markdown Converter (Flask Version)

This application converts PDF files (either uploaded or from a URL) into Markdown format. It extracts text, attempts to format it, identifies tables, and extracts images.

Extracted images are uploaded to a Hugging Face Dataset repository named "pdf-images-extracted" (this can be configured). Important: For image uploading to work, you must set an HF_TOKEN with write access to datasets in your Hugging Face Space secrets.

Features

• Upload PDF files directly.
• Process PDFs from a publicly accessible URL.
• Extracts plain text and attempts to preserve some layout.
• Detects and formats tables into Markdown.
• Extracts images from the PDF.
• Performs OCR on extracted images to include text from images.
• Uploads extracted images to a Hugging Face Dataset.
