Created: `server/services/pdf-text-extractor.js` + +**Purpose:** Native PDF text extraction using pdfjs-dist +**Functions:** +- `extractNativeTextPerPage(pdfPath)` - Extract text from all pages +- `hasNativeText(pdfPath, minChars)` - Check if PDF has substantial native text +- `extractPageText(pdfPath, pageNumber)` - Extract text from single page + +**Lines of code:** 67 +**Dependencies:** pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.mjs + +### 2. Modified: `server/services/ocr.js` + +**Changes:** +- Added import for pdf-text-extractor.js functions +- Implemented hybrid logic in `extractTextFromPDF()` +- Added environment configuration: + - `OCR_MIN_TEXT_THRESHOLD` (default: 50 chars) + - `FORCE_OCR_ALL_PAGES` (default: false) +- Enhanced result object with `method` field: + - `'native-extraction'` - Native text used (confidence: 0.99) + - `'tesseract-ocr'` - OCR fallback used + - `'error'` - Processing failed + +**Logic flow:** +1. Attempt native text extraction for all pages +2. If total text > 100 chars, use hybrid approach: + - Pages with >50 chars native text: Use native (no OCR) + - Pages with <50 chars native text: Run Tesseract OCR +3. If no native text found: Fall back to full Tesseract OCR +4. Log statistics: native vs OCR page counts + +**Lines modified:** ~120 (lines 37-156) + +### 3. Updated: `server/package.json` + +**Dependency added:** +- `pdfjs-dist@4.0.379` (installed with --ignore-scripts to bypass canvas rebuild) + +### 4.
