Description
Hi,
I am using the command markitdown id.pdf > document.md to convert a PDF containing both text and images. The text present inside images does not appear to be OCR-processed in the output.
Am I missing any configuration or optional dependency required for OCR? Or is OCR functionality currently not supported as part of the MarkItDown project?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sam
