Description
/partition_pdf() with stategy = "fast" is not extracting any elements
To Reproduce
We are trying to use partition_pdf with strategy = "fast" using below code.
elements = partition_pdf(
filename=temp_file_path,
strategy="fast"
elements are always empty list.
Any help would be appreciated as its a priority for us.
PDF text is extractable. Is there any scenarios where strategy = 'fast' will fail. We have tried with PDF which does not have any images and also with PDF that contains contains text and images(almost 90% and images 10% ).
In both the cases its returning an empty list
Regards
Remya.

Research direction
Start by reproducing partition_pdf(filename=temp_file_path, strategy="fast") with the text-only and mixed text/image PDFs described in the report, and inspect why the result is empty. Done means the fast strategy either returns the expected extracted elements for supported PDFs or clearly documents the scenarios in which it cannot do so.
