The example below uses Mathpix (free account for basic) and Overleaf (free account for basic).

Converting PDF to LaTeX Using Mathpix;  a 10-step process:

1. Navigate to mathpix.com and log into your Mathpix account. If you don't have an account, select "Try for free" to create one and proceed to practice.
2. Launch the Snip Webapp that contains the conversion tools.
3. Upload your PDF file, then select the pages of interest and maintain the remaining settings as is. Wait as Mathpix begins processing your document.
4. Click the three-dot menu next to your PDF file on the left sidebar.
5. Select "Export to".
6. Then choose LaTeX.
7. Using Overleaf (which is hyperlinked in the text), an online LaTeX editor, upload the .zip file.
8. Review the generated LaTeX code, comparing its PDF rendering against the original PDF document.
9. Once satisfied with the LaTeX code, download it from the TeX editor.
