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

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.
- Amateur programmer here. Will Rust be used in backend for software in the future?

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.
