SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pypdf, pdf2image, Pillow, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually processing PDFs for text, tables, forms, and page-level edits is tedious and error-prone; this skill provides a programmable toolkit to automate these tasks end-to-end.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated PDF text and table extraction with structure preserved where possible.
  • Form handling: fillable and non-fillable forms, merging, splitting, and annotating PDFs.
  • Use Case: processing a batch of invoices to extract vendor, date, and total, then compile results into CSV.

Quick Start

Run the pdf processing toolkit on sample.pdf to extract text and tables.
