While evaluating whether llama_parse would work for our use case, I noticed that llama_index appeared to ignore a large portion of the text in the test document I used.

When I opened said document using LibreOffice Draw, I noticed that the text was in the form of Bézier curves.

Here is a minimal reproducible example:
exhibit_a.pdf
exhibit_b.pdf

exhibit_a.pdf contains two regular text frames, and exhibit_b.pdf contains one text frame converted to Bézier curves, and one regular text frame.

Here is the output for exhibit_a.pdf:

Here is the output for exhibit_b.pdf:
