PDF Processing Pipeline
An end-to-end automated pipeline that converts scanned PDF pages into formatted Word documents — handling complex multi-column layouts, Latin/English side-by-side text, footnotes, and headings at scale.

The client needed 500 pages of scanned religious text (two-column Latin/English format) converted into precisely formatted .docx files. Manual typing would have taken weeks. The pipeline automated the entire process: OCR extraction, markup tagging, layout parsing, and Word generation.
A custom markup language was designed to tag document structure (headings, page headers, footnotes, two-column sections, italic text, superscripts) and a formatting engine converts this into pixel-perfect Word output.
500 pages processed and delivered. The pipeline reduced what would have been weeks of manual work to a fully automated overnight run, with formatting quality exceeding the client's specifications.
