Notes

Output preserves document structure: headings, tables, lists, links
First run caches dependencies; subsequent runs are faster
For complex PDFs with poor extraction, use
```
-d
```
with Azure Document Intelligence
When piping via stdin, prefer
```
-x
```
(and optionally
```
-m
```
/
```
-c
```
) for better detection
