Description
I am testing pdf to markdown conversion and I have (cid:588)(cid:607)(cid:623) in the output file. I researched into it and found out that you use pdfminer. I raised a similar issue with them, but never received a solution. Is there any way to replace pdfminer with some better OCR tooling?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the PDF-to-Markdown conversion that emits the (cid:588)(cid:607)(cid:623) text, then trace the PDF conversion path and its pdfminer usage. Done would require a confirmed approach that produces readable output for this case and regression coverage, but the issue names no files or tests.
