When does PDF to Markdown work best?

It works best with native-text reports, research papers, invoices, manuals, and other PDFs that contain selectable text. Image-only scans need OCR before their text can be extracted.

Why inspect before OCR?

Many PDFs already contain usable text. Detecting that first avoids sending every document through a slower OCR pipeline and shows exactly which pages still need OCR.
