About PDF Processing
The PDF skill collects practical routes for common document operations, from text extraction and page manipulation to forms and OCR. It chooses between Python libraries and command-line utilities according to the task. Scanned input and complex layouts need separate checks because extracted text alone does not establish that the page was reproduced correctly.
- Examples for pypdf, pdfplumber and related PDF utilities.
- Separate references for advanced processing and forms.

Before you use it
Review the project instructions and requested tool access, then try a small task. This directory checks sources and setup notes; inclusion is not a code security audit.
