Upgrade Storagenew plugin announcement - Estravon (PDF to Markdown, with a choice of conversion engines)
Hi all, I built Estravon, a plugin that right-clicks any PDF attachment in your library and adds a clean Markdown transcription to the item, synced and versioned like any other attachment.
Two things that are different from other tools in this space: you can run the conversion through more than one engine and compare the results (local/offline via MinerU, or cloud via Mistral OCR / Datalab), and if you build Zotero plugins yourself, Estravon exposes a small JS hook (Zotero.Estravon.extract()) so you can trigger extraction from your own plugin instead of reimplementing PDF->Markdown from scratch.

Happy to answer questions and post more info about engine tradeoffs, the developer hook, self-hosting the backend, whatever's useful.
