    From the README

    PDF-Extract-Kit is a powerful open-source toolkit designed to efficiently extract high-quality content from complex and diverse PDF documents. Here are its main features and advantages:

    Experience PDF-Extract-Kit now and unlock the limitless potential of PDF documents!

    Note: PDF-Extract-Kit is designed for high-quality document processing and functions as a model toolbox. If you are interested in extracting high-quality document content (e.g., converting PDFs to Markdown), please use MinerU, which combines the high-quality predictions from PDF-Extract-Kit with specialized engineering optimizations for more convenient and efficient content extraction. If you're a developer looking to create engaging applications such as document translation, document Q&A, or document assistants, you'll find it very convenient to build your own projects using PDF-Extract-Kit. In particular, we will periodically update the PDF-Extract-Kit/project directory with interesting applications, so stay tuned!

    We welcome researchers and engineers from the community to contribute outstanding models and innovative applications by submitting PRs to become contributors to the PDF-Extract-Kit project.
