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

"\n",
"This covers how to load online pdfs into a document format that we can use downstream. This can be used for various online pdf sites such as https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/ and https://arxiv.org/archive/\n",
"\n",
"Note: all other pdf loaders can also be used to fetch remote PDFs, but `OnlinePDFLoader` is a legacy function, and works specifically with `UnstructuredPDFLoader`.\n"
"This 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."
"This is the fastest of the PDF parsing options, and contains detailed metadata about the PDF and its pages, as well as returns one document per page."
