but to recreate the visual and structural intent of the original document—including nested tables, multi-column layouts, font hierarchies, and styling.

Comparative Analysis: Perform a deep-dive evaluation of commercial (ABBYY, Adobe, AWS Textract) vs. Build a Python-based workflow that integrates OCR engines with document generation libraries (like python-docx or Pandoc).
Python Mastery: Expert-level Python skills with experience in OpenCV, PyMuPDF, and python-docx.
A "pixel-perfect" mindset—understanding the nuances of XML-based document formats (OOXML).
Architectural Vision: Ability to decide when to use an "off-the-shelf" API versus when to build a custom PyTorch/TensorFlow pipeline.
Contributions to open-source OCR or PDF manipulation projects.
