Using react-pdf, we crafted a solution that allowed users to manipulate their reports with an impressive degree of flexibility. But, as data grew (imagine trying to cram an entire financial year's worth of invoices, up to 22,000 rows, into one PDF), our solution began to falter, especially on older PCs with limited resources.
I'm part of the team that build LlamaParse. It's net improvement compare to other PDF->Structured Text extractors (I build several in the past, includig https://github.com/axa-group/Parsr).
For character extraction, LlamaParse use a mixture of OCR / character extraction from the PDF (it's the only parser I'm aware of that address some of the buggy PDF font issues, check the 'text' mode to see raw document before reconstruction), use a mixture of heuristic and Machine learning models to reconstruct the document.
Once plug with a Recursive retrieval strategy, allow you to get Sota result on question answering over complexe text (see notebook: https://github.com/run-llama/llama_parse/blob/main/examples/...).

Project mention: The Case Against AI Everything, Everywhere, All at Once | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-19You can still choose automation. The easier route for me is to use wallabag to save the article. Then on my remarkable tablet I can grab a very readable document with https://github.com/koreader/koreader.
The other option is to use https://github.com/danburzo/percollate to convert a webpage to a nice document directly. I use both tools depending on my needs.
node-html-pdf: the library is simple and easy to use, one simple command and you get your PDF. However, the library is no longer maintained and we expect to have issue with complex layouts. Also, even if the HTML document include already all information about the layout, you may have to add some optionto make it work correctly as shown in the .README. So while being simple, it requires manual fintuning for each document.
That said: - I assume you will be doing at least some highlighting / annotating of pdfs and / or websites. In that case, you might want to look into either plugins that automatically import your highlights from other tools (Zotero, Kindle or another e-ink device, Hypothes.is, Readwise, etc), or into plugins that allow for highlighting PDFs directly inside Obsidian (Obsidian Annotator). - Templater is useful for most folks that have to create many notes with repeated layout. If you have notes for each lesson, you could have a lesson note template, to create them faster and keep them consistent. - As a student, you have to keep track of your schedule when it comes to classes, exams, etc. - you could use a plugin to sync your existing Google calendar, or keep your calendar entirely in Obsidian (Full Calendar).

I've been test-driving the web pdf build tool for Asciidoc, asciidoctor-web-pdf[1], for a few years, which uses Paged.js as the template engine before CSS PMM has its go. I like it - I like it a LOT[2] - but Puppeteer-Chrome bugs breaks the build on the regular, or requires a rework of templates. So the web-pdf team started just releasing docker images that include a tested Chromium version (among other things), so as to keep that from being such a PITA. Which is fine. Howaaaayyyyyyyver . . that shines a spotlight on a problem with this workflow: the dependency on browser rendering kit.
