I have grok produce a precise transcription of the text, then have chatgpt produce an editable word document, including forms, following the text that grok picked up (it's a lot better at OCR, for some reason)

And then if I need to produce another pdf, I export it from Word.

PDFs are silly. It's tech superstition, kinda like the belief that faxes are secure.

We have to manipulate 100 page PDFs, that sounds like a nightmare.

I also can’t run sensitive docs through LLMs. This stuff has to stay local.
