pdf-inspector vs LiteParse

Same fixture, different extraction paths. Cell alignment, reading order and heading structure are scored separately, and one fixture is a scan with no text layer. These results describe this adapter configuration and this small test set.

When to test pdf-inspector

Compare financial tables and headings in PDFs with an existing text layer.

This adapter does not OCR scanned pages. Native dependencies run in the parsing engine.

When to test LiteParse

Compare a layout-aware extraction path with plain-text baselines on the same PDF.

OCR capability does not establish accuracy on scans. The published fixtures contain text layers.
