"Unfortunately Mistral-OCR has still the usual VLM curse: with challenging manuscripts, it hallucinates completely." My personal experience relates to the statement from the article, "According to several studies, approximately 80–90 percent of the world's organizational data is stored as unstructured data in documents, much of it locked away in formats that resist easy extraction." In my experience, this means Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents authored by people who put more focus on the appearance than the structure of the content. Take one of these documents and generate PDF from it and any hint of structure that existed is gone. There was an article on HN not too long ago discussing this history of Word documents and the lack of structure, but I can't find the link.
