Scanned PDF to Markdown with OCR
Turns a scanned PDF (pages that are only images) into searchable text and clean Markdown. The Actor detects that the pages have no text layer, straightens and cleans them, detects the language and runs OCR. You get Markdown, plain text and per-page confidence in the dataset. The example is a small public sample scan, so a test run costs a few cents at most.
