opendataloader-pdf

OpenDataLoader PDF is an open-source parser that converts PDF files to Markdown, JSON (with boundary boxes) and HTML for AI and RAG processes. The specifier offers hybrid mode that directs complex pages to an AI backend with local mode; table, formula, and OCR support come in hybrid mode. The label-free PDF screen converts automatically to the appropriate PDF to the reader; the PDF/UA-1/2 export is the corporate (paid) add-on. There are Python, Node.js, and Java SDK.
