One thing I'm very interested in, as a grad student who has to consume a huge number of PDFs, is whether there are good tools for converting existing PDFs to portable EPUBs or HTML documents.
If I use, for instance, CloudConvert [1], I generally get a document that gets flowing text roughly right, but still interrupts the text with page numbers and book titles (that were originally at the top of each page) and includes additional bizarre line breaks, etc.
Every so often I wonder if this is an LLM problem ("please reformat the following text to...") but I think that one shouldn't reach for an LLM for these kinds of things.
