pdf-craft is a Python library that converts PDF files into Markdown or EPUB, with a focus on scanned books and documents. It uses OCR (locally on GPU or via a remote vendor service) and an LLM for translation, handling tables of contents, footnotes, tables, formulas, and images.

Use cases

  • convert scanned book pdfs to markdown
  • turn pdf into epub
  • make scanned documents searchable
  • ocr a scanned pdf book
  • translate a pdf and write translation back into it
  • extract tables and formulas from scanned pdfs

When to choose

  • you need to convert scanned books or academic documents into editable formats like Markdown or EPUB
  • you want a Python library with both local GPU OCR and remote OCR service options
  • you need PDF translation integrated into the conversion pipeline

When to avoid

  • you only need simple text extraction from digitally-born (non-scanned) PDFs
  • you need a GUI-only tool with no programming
  • you lack a GPU and cannot use a remote OCR service
