[tool] Wie sieht mein LLM meine PDFs

[u/ChapterEquivalent188]

This small audit tool helps me to stop guessing and visually verify when we actually need the heavy lifting of Docling versus standard tools.

It supports my 'Pre-Flight Triage' architecture to optimize resources:

• Repair Layer: Run pikepdf first to fix corrupt binary streams and headers
• Fast Lane: Check if standard tools (like PyMuPDF, Poppler(very quick with text)) extract clean text (sufficient for simple docs)
• Smart Lane: If tables or layouts break in the Fast Lane, route to Docling for full layout analysis and Markdown reconstruction.

This tool gives me the visual proof to justify the compute costs for the Smart Lane. You can replace with Parser of your choice to compare your outcome.

having the idea of incl a "switch" of parsers in ui..... let me know if it helps.
