What problem does it solve?

Extract selectable text from PDF files and prepare it for automated wiki ingestion, removing the need for manual copy-paste and enabling downstream summarization and citation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layout-preserving extraction: Uses pdftotext with layout mode to retain columns and basic formatting for more accurate parsing.
  • Page-range support: Extract specific page ranges for large documents or targeted imports.
  • Repository integration: Advises copying the original PDF to the vault raw/ folder and routes extracted text to the ingest pipeline for page creation.
  • Use Case: Convert a research paper or technical manual PDF into plain text to generate wiki pages, summaries, and source notes.

Quick Start

Ingest the PDF at /path/to/file.pdf and extract its text for wiki ingestion.
