Recently tested a (non-english) pdf ocr with Gemini 2.5 Pro. First, directly ask it to extract text from pdf. Result: random text blob, not useable.

Second, I converted pdf into pages of jpg. Gemini performed exceptional. Near perfect text extraction with intact format in markdown.

Maybe there's internal difference when processing pdf vs jpg inside the model.

Model isn’t rendering the PDF probably, just looking in the file for text.
