does it use pdftotext tool under the

The post asks if the tool uses the pdftotext tool under the hood. The community members discuss the use of the SimpleDirectoryReader to extract text from PDF files, and whether it relies on other libraries like pdftotext or xpdf. Some members mention that the tool does lazy importing of libraries like pdftotext, so users would need to have it installed. There are also questions about the release timeline and plans for features like backlinks to the original PDF sections. However, there is no explicitly marked answer to the original question.
