Adding a progress bar when partitioning pdfs

[TheoLvs]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the huge work on unstructured !

I would love to visualize with a progress bar the advancement of partition_pdf when parsing big pdfs. Is there a easy way of doing it ?

We're using the API for parsing PDFs. It's really troubling not to have progress reported in some way for operations that can take anywhere between 10 seconds and 5 minutes. In our experience, the developer (and by extension user) experience is really janky without progress reporting of some sort.

+1 It would significantly improve our ability to handle large PDFs and provide a better user experience.

Supporting the matter raised by @TheoLvs! It would have been really handy, specially when handling bigger files...
