SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pymupdf, pymupdf4llm, marker-pdf, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually extracting text from PDFs, scanned documents, and images is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for large batches or complex layouts like tables, equations, and OCR-required scanned files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-format text extraction: Supports text-based PDFs, scanned/OCR documents, DOCX, PPTX, EPUB, and image files.
  • Dual extraction modes: Lightweight pymupdf for fast, dependency-minimal text-based PDF processing, and high-accuracy marker-pdf for OCR, equation recognition, and complex layout analysis.
  • Use case: Researchers can quickly extract full text from Arxiv papers, while administrative teams can batch-process scanned invoices into editable, structured text.

Quick Start

Use the ocr-and-documents skill to extract all text from your attached scanned PDF document and save it as a clean markdown file.
