I am willing to pay for this, I only have around ~80 files, with 30 pages each (average). Is there a quick way to test this without wasting too much on the code part?
Yes, ChatGPT will do it if you upload photos of the page.
Why can't this be an electron app?
Dev here, totally could, we dismissed it at first as electron is quite bulky containing a whole chromium instance inside the exe. instead we kept it small as possible for the exe version We have plans for a full UI version in V2. We are releasing V1 (SPDF is currently in beta) sometime this month. But have begun work on a V2 port to different language and framework.

I just tried it with the API and it worked better than expected. Now I need to find to convert PDF to JPG with an API, and find the best prompt to ask GPT to only convert to markdown articles and not pages with columns, ads, etc. Thanks!
I started making app to read our board game cards out loud (with voice) for our horror board game nights (https://boardguru.net) and GPT-4 could read cards that I couldn't make out!
I have a PDF problem that I thought was simple but has proven difficult to solve and there is no paid solution I’ve found… I want to forward an email to an inbox, have the email body converted into a PDF, and then email that attachment to someone all automatically. I’ve tried Make, Zapier, pdf.co, pdftool, and a few other tools but have had no success. Has anyone solved this problem reliably?

Dev here for the above stirling pdf app, Please raise features like this as a feature request github issue ticket and we can try address it in future!
I would do exactly what you have done here if I were the dev of the said app. But with the luxury of being an outsider, a user has expressed an inconvenience and it seems to make sense, then if I were to be the dev of the app here, wouldn't I go and create the ticket in whatever system with a link to this post instead of asking the user of the app to follow the red tape? I know there are places where this is not ince…
It's scary how such a widely used format (PDF) is almost in full control by Adobe. I have yet to see a true competitor to Adobe Acrobat. The only one that has come really close is the one that comes built-in for macOS. It's a hidden gem.
I still couldn't find a tool for a difficult problem to solve. I have some magazines in PDF, with layouts in two columns, etc. I want them to be transformed into Markdown. I know, it should identify automatically the two columns, different layouts, etc. I am not desiring something perfect - I can fix if ther are some errors, but so far nothing has come with a good result.

PDF had an open spec and oodles of programs supporting it. I don't understand where this comment is coming from.
Adobe acrobat (and maybe reader) is really the only app that fully supports the full PDF spec as understood by the authors of the spec. There are ridiculous parts of the spec that allow support for things like JS, etc.

The full spec is large and afaik has many obscure pieces, including 3-D, etc. Like many specs, they don't match reality and nobody takes completeness too seriously. For almost all users, supporting the entire PDF spec doesn't matter (does it matter for any user - does any person or organization use the entire spec over their lifetimes?).
Also, do we know that Adobe supports the entire spec?
