I took over a project that was built by an overseas team. They set up a data ingestion process. They have a step in the ingestion where they use Libre Office (in headless mode) to convert Microsoft Word documents to PDFs. Later we convert all PDFs to Markdown. They felt that it was best to convert everything to a PDF, and then convert all of the PDFs to Markdown.
What I notice is that LibreOffice can create very complex PDFs when the Microsoft Word document has:
1. tables
2. multiple columns
3. strikethrough text
I am thinking we should go straight from Microsoft Word to Markdown.
What is the right software for that?
