    Every time I try to convert a PDF to epub or something, or OCR one that doesn’t actually have selectable text, it turns out shit. I assume the real reason people would want to get LLMs involved is that there is actually a lot of ambiguity in what a correct conversion would be, and there are a lot of PDFs out there.

      I self host sterling-pdf and I haven’t had an issue with file conversion in… When did I set this thing up?

      To be truthful, the machine I had it running on has been sent to the grave (I sold it) so I don’t actually have this service running right now
