Does LiteParse process scanned pages inside a digital PDF?

LiteParse kept the scanned page in the mixed PDF instead of skipping it. The Markdown places the scanned page between the digital pages and recovers its text, though labels and values come out as separate groups; OCR completed.

### Reported fault

Intermittent baseline noise on channel 2, reported by the Partnership on 21 January. The analyser had been running without attention since the annual service in January 2025.

### Work carried out

The flow cell was removed, stripped and cleaned, and the pump tubing set replaced. The optical window was found to be lightly fouled on the inner face; it was cleaned rather than replaced, and should be inspected again at the next visit. The analyser was recalibrated against the two-point standards and left running on channel 2 for an hour before the site was handed back. The completed worksheet is bound in as page 2 of this report.

Why this result

The scanned page needed to be included, and its text appeared between the digital pages. That earns a pass even though the output did not preserve the label-to-value pairings.

Also observed in this test case

Labels and values separated. In the worksheet’s checks and readings and time on site sections, LiteParse grouped labels separately from their values, losing the pairings.

Scan marks and footer. The scanned worksheet’s output contains stray plus and tilde marks, with the tilde marks beside the signature caption. Its footer text remains, but the page number is absent.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
