I was trying to figure out this exact same issue. OCR on a PDF worked great, up until a certain point when it just started hallucinating like crazy. I was working on a whole pipeline to just feed in a PDF one page at a time to try and get around this issue. Otherwise, the OCR works absolutely fantastic compared to all other other tools I've been trying lately. These include OCRmyPDF (Tesseract), SuryaOCR, and some of the models on the Visual LLM Leaderboard.
I've also seen some people recommend Paddle OCR, but I find their documentation to be lacking and I haven't got that one working yet to evaluate.
