New tool converts PDFs and Word docs to structured Markdown for RAG

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new tool has been developed to convert PDF and Word documents into structured Markdown, table rows, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) chunks. This tool aims to improve knowledge extraction by preserving document structure like headings and tables, and by providing page-level citations for RAG systems. It also includes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for scanned documents and offers a comparison of different PDF extraction tools available on the Apify Store. AI
