pdf-inspector is a fast Rust tool that checks whether a PDF has real text or is scanned, then extracts text and turns it into clean Markdown without OCR for text PDFs. It works in Python, Node.js, Rust, and browsers, and it is useful because it can save time and cost by skipping OCR, while still giving you searchable, copyable, well-structured output for reports, papers, invoices, and legal files.
