Hybrid Earnings Report
A long, real-world hybrid annual report used to benchmark end-to-end PDF-to-markdown conversion. It combines native text, financial tables, charts/graphics, and scanned signature/stamp regions, stressing preservation of document structure, reading order, and embedded visual content across a multi-section report.
Why this input is hard

Complex Document Handling✓ WorkedThe tool handles an 84-page mixed-content annual report end-to-end, including tables, charts, and scanned signature/stamp regions, and returns usable markdown output without manual correction.Markdown Quality✓ WorkedThe export is usable markdown rather than a flat text dump: it includes an overall markdown file plus page-wise markdown files delivered in a downloadable ZIP.Table Preservation✓ WorkedThe financial table is reconstructed into a usable structured layout without losing the relationships between headers, rows, and corresponding values.Visual Content Retention✓ WorkedVisual assets are extracted into page-specific folders, keeping charts, signatures, and other document elements tied to their source pages instead of collapsing them into one consolidated output.

Extend AI✓ WorkedMaintains report hierarchy and reading flow in an 84-page annual report, keeping section text, bullets, and business narrative aligned instead of flattening them.Landing AI✗ FailedFlattens a top-level page heading into plain text, losing heading semantics on a page that should read as a structured annual-report story page.LlamaParse✓ WorkedKeeps the report's heading-and-paragraph sequence intact instead of flattening the page into disconnected text blocks.Nutrient.io✓ WorkedPreserves the section hierarchy and bullet-point reading order on the sample page, keeping the 'A Growth Story Again' heading tied to its paragraph and 4 bullets in sequence.Reducto✓ WorkedLinearizes a two-column page correctly, reading the full left column, including all four bullets, before the right-column continuation appears, with no interleaving or sequence inversion.Tensorlake✓ WorkedPreserves heading order and section relationships in an 84-page hybrid annual report, keeping the narrative, bullets, and figure placement aligned with the source flow.Upstage AI✗ FailedBreaks the two-column reading order on the annual-report page, so headings and body text no longer follow the source navigation cleanly.
