Can not create markdownfile from bengali pdf

[amitabha81]

I have downloaded a book from archive in .pdf format. Write the below code:

#md = MarkItDown(use_azure=False)  # Important: set this flag
md = MarkItDown(use_azure=False, ocr_mode=True)

<!-- Failed to upload "Bharater-Shilpa-sanskritir.pdf" -->

<!-- Failed to upload "Bharater-Shilpa-sanskritir.pdf" -->

file_path = "E:/NLP/Bengali LLM all/DATA/Bharater-Shilpa-sanskritir.pdf"
result = md.convert(file_path)

# Save to .md file
with open("output.md", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    f.write(result.text_content)

print("Markdown saved as output.md")

The output file size is 0 kb.
The input file link is : [(https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.266550/page/n135/mode/2up)]
I have downloaded the pdf version.

Thanks. Let me take a look.

Markitdown uses PDF miner to extract any existing text or OCR layer. Do you know if this document has one? (I will check).

You can also try the Azure Doc Intelligence integration, which handles PDFs better.
