Document Parsing - an unsolved problem?
At my previous job we had the same problem which we solved by using Tika. We called it on the server along with other stuff, but there is also a Python binding.

Extract text from PDF
Tika is from Apache so yes its original code base is Java but it has bindings in other languages. Checkout Tika-Python!

Extract text from documents
The Textractor instance is the main entrypoint for extracting text. This method is backed by Apache Tika, a robust text extraction library written in Java. Apache Tika has support for a large number of file formats: PDF, Word, Excel, HTML and others. The Python Tika package automatically installs Tika and starts a local REST API instance used to read extracted data.

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.
