# MinerU PDF-to-Markdown Document Parser

Transforms complex PDFs into LLM-ready markdown and JSON using MinerU, a high-accuracy document intelligence pipeline. Extracts text, tables, formulas, and images from scientific papers, reports, and scanned documents with layout-aware parsing.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install --upgrade pip
- pip install uv
- uv pip install -U "mineru[all]"
