> We've now seen a few requests for extracting text _and_ rendering PDFs, and certainly it might be useful to have alternatives for rendering files (e.g. this [Alfresco study|https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-blog/pdf-rendering-engine-performance-and-fidelity-comparison/ba-p/287618]), including MSOffice or at least PPTx...
> And there are cases where users don't want the rendered images, but they do want OCR to be run against the rendered images.
> I doubt I'll have a chance to work on this for a while, but I wanted to open an issue for discussion.
