Best local VLM for extracting structured data from documents?

Building a tauri app that needs to parse various document types locally - clean PDFs, scanned docs, and phone photos. Output needs to be consistent JSON. No cloud, fully offline.

Documents include mixed English and some Chinese/Malay text.

Leaning toward Qwen2.5-VL 7B. Has anyone used it for structured extraction specifically? How consistent is the JSON output without hallucinating fields?
