Last week I added the `PDFMinerPDFasHTMLLoader`. I am adding some
example code in the notebook to serve as a tutorial for how that loader
can be used to create snippets of a pdf that are structured within
sections. All the other loaders only provide the `Document` objects
segmented by pages but that's pretty loose given the amount of other
metadata that can be extracted.
With the new loader, one can leverage font-size of the text to decide
when a new sections starts and can segment the text more semantically as
shown in the tutorial notebook. The cell shows that we are able to find
the content of entire section under **Related Work** for the example pdf
which is spread across 2 pages and hence is stored as two separate
documents by other loaders
Adds a new pdf loader using the existing dependency on PDFMiner.
The new loader can be helpful for chunking texts semantically into
sections as the output html content can be parsed via `BeautifulSoup` to
get more structured and rich information about font size, page numbers,
pdf headers/footers, etc. which may not be available otherwise with
other pdf loaders
