Hey this is great, I made something ad-hoc to do this for a client and might borrow some ideas to improve it.
I heavily leaned on AWS Textract for the bounding boxes though, as the kind of data I had to extract didn't have very well defined fields. I used some of the techniques described in this link [0] particularly around table extraction.
I really like how you define the fields in YAML though, I defined mine in code and it ended up being a bit messy.
