Here's my first attempt at a Markdown conversion of that document (using Gemini 1.5 Pro against an image of each of the pages in the PDF), created so that I can copy and paste from it and read it on my phone gist.github.com/simonw/7b913aa

@simon what did you use? In the past I had decent results using github.com/VikParuchuri/marker

@mseri I used my own little in-development JavaScript app that sends each image to Gemini in turn for conversion to markdown - it's an extension of tools.simonwillison.net/ocr

@simon That is my main use-case for Readwise.io Reader. It generally does a reasonable job of extracting text from PDFs that I can read in the app.
