What was given, what came back
Test input: Hybrid Earnings Report · pdf · group: hybrid-earnings-report
Input — what we sent
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
- · Native digital text extraction
- · Complex financial table preservation
- · Chart and graphic retention
- · Image-based signatures and stamps
- · Reading order across a long multi-section report
- · Markdown quality and consistency
Output — unretouched

Advanced Features✓ WorkedEmits semantic attestation blocks for handwritten-signature regions and a blurry signature stamp, distinguishing the signer/company name and the signature legibility instead of leaving those regions unannotated.Table Preservation✓ WorkedReconstructs a five-year financial results table with the 2015–2011 columns and aligned row/value relationships intact in markdown-style rows.Visual Content Retention✗ FailedReplaces a waterfall chart with text, preserving the SG&A rate values and year-to-year change labels but not the chart as a visual asset in the 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.LlamaParse✓ WorkedKeeps the report's heading-and-paragraph sequence intact instead of flattening the page into disconnected text blocks.Mistral AI✓ WorkedThe parser preserves document hierarchy across most sections of the long report, keeping headings and supporting text structurally aligned through the majority of the output.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⚠ StruggledDrops heading structure on most of the filing: the FORM 10-K opening area receives no # or ## markup, and the report says 80 of 84 pages stay as plain paragraphs rather than navigable section headings.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.
