Crates for converting PDF's into Markdown
I built my own solution using a combination of Tesseract and OpenCV (in python). But even though the source PDF content is computer generated, I still get sporadic OCR errors. After writing my solution, I came across this https://github.com/Layout-Parser/layout-parser which might be a better starting point for dealing with PDFs but I haven't tried it yet.

OCR help required
This sound more like a layout parking issue. Look at Layout Parser, it has helped me on many occasions when I was battling to extract info from PDF documents.

Extract text from PDF
One of the tools I'm excited about (but haven't used in production) is LayoutParser. It's open-source, and can do some document image analysis especially on non-generic docs.

Extract text from PDF
I'd recommend trying py-pdf-parser [0] - it allows you to fetch data from documents based on text "markers". E.g. you can easily find data, located to the right of "EMAL FROM:" text [0] - https://github.com/jstockwin/py-pdf-parser
