doc7 and a Wave of Vision-Grounded Document Converters Are Displacing Text-Only PDF Extraction
magicrew/doc7 (created 2026-08-02, 587 stars, Go, MIT, pushed 2026-08-07) converts documents to AI-ready Markdown using a vision-language model rather than text extraction alone, targeting layout, tables, and figures that plain parsers drop.

RAG builders now have to pick which failure mode they care about — throughput or layout fidelity.
