Project to rebuild papers with plaintext markup languages
Their library is built on Grobid and probably makes it easier to use, and thus probably the best overall choice.

Project to rebuild papers with plaintext markup languages
- pdffigures2 is from the team behind Semantic Scholar, and they probably use it to extract the figures that they show in their search engine. It only extracts figures and their captions and no other things. I don't recall whether the other tools can also extract figures, but if not, then this will be a perfect supplement.
