Description
Hi guys,
Love the work. In our current approach we convert documents to a list of markdown, where each element consists of the markdown for that specific page. This is really useful in RAG when providing citations and enriching the chunks during completion.
I'm unsure how feasible it is for PDF, docx and other "paginated" content.

Research direction
Review the existing PDF, DOCX, and other paginated document conversion paths to determine how page boundaries and Markdown output are currently handled. Define what a pagewise list should contain and how citations can identify each page; the work is done when paginated inputs consistently produce usable per-page Markdown.
