Description
I use markitdown to convert PDFs and translate and analyze the texts inside them, unfortunately I have to manually use join lines to reconstruct the paragraphs for input into the translation or text processing software. Is there a solution to automate this?
I actually want to go from image 1 where the lines are separate to image 2 where the lines form a perfect paragraph.
image 1: before join lines
image 1: after join lines
