@sridharaiyer The PDF Image reader is ready. It would be great it you could share an ideal pdf for your use case so that we can test further before releasing :)

@sridharaiyer Good day, team phidata! Thank you for your prompt response and willingness to address this critical feature request. I appreciate your dedication to continuously improving the library.

To aid in your testing, I would like to share the following PDF files that contain a mix of scanned images (text):

1. https://www.deped.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/DO_s2024_005.pdf
2. https://www.deped.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/DO_s2024_002.pdf

These PDFs are representative of the types of documents I frequently work with, and having the ability to extract text from images within PDFs would greatly enhance my workflow.

I have been using phidata for my personal projects and have found it to be an invaluable tool. Additionally, I have been following the progress of the library and the insightful video demos led by Sir @ashpreetbedi on Twitter.

Thank you once again for your efforts in making phidata an even more powerful and versatile library. I look forward to testing the PDF Image reader feature once it is released.

Thanks a lot team!! The PDF with an image containing text is indeed being read properly. So I am closing this ticket.

However, I have another question in regards to the knowledge base strategy. I will open another thread.
Thanks, once again!!
