Import of pdf in cookbook

[quinoa5]

Is it possible to import pdf files into Nextcloud Cookbook or an just a photo of an e.g. handwritten recipe?

At the moment this is not possible.

A PDF contains of potentially multiple pages. That means we would have to parse the PDF unless we wanted to store it without any metadata parsing.

Maybe we can support multiple images per recipe (already on the agenda). The OCR (image to text) would still be on the user, though.

Now with the rise of AI, maybe we can leverage that to interpret the photo/pdf and convert them into correct json format? We could ad this as optional feature so people can add common apis for that?
