Case Study: Dr Khor achieves fast, accurate PDF-to-text conversion with Network Locum

Dr Khor - Customer Case Study

DocConvert Co., a specialist in PDF-to-structured-text conversion, was approached by a client who needed a precise, faithful conversion but hadn’t uploaded the source file and hadn’t specified formatting preferences. The main challenge was clarifying requirements—how to mark headings, subheadings, sidebars and page breaks, whether to run OCR on scanned pages, and whether to transcribe chart captions and other non-decorative images—to ensure the converted output matched the client’s expectations.

To solve this, DocConvert provided a concise checklist of options, proposed sensible default markers (e.g., HEADING:, SUBHEADING:, --- Page X ---), offered OCR for scanned documents, and asked whether non-text elements should be transcribed and which output encoding was preferred. Once the client uploads the PDF and confirms or accepts defaults, DocConvert will deliver structured plain UTF-8 text (or a .txt file) that preserves original wording and names, ensuring an accurate, ready-to-use conversion.
