prototype for PDF to HTML option 3- Python Prototype

[meganhicks]

Description: As a developer, I want to prototype a solution using Python-based PDF parsing and HTML conversion libraries, so that I can compare its performance and output consistency with Ruby-based approaches.

Details on decision narratives here (including mock letter, and examination of 961 letter content).

Hypothetical implementation here.

Acceptance Criteria

1. The service accepts a PDF file as input.
2. Identify and select Python libraries for:
   Text extraction.
   Heading detection based on font size.
   List and table extraction.
   Image extraction with alt attributes.
3. Convert extracted content into structured, accessible HTML.
4. The output is evaluated for consistency across multiple decision narrative PDFs.
5. Compare this prototype to the others and make a recommendation
