FAQPage Schema
How do I extract text and tables from a PDF?

To extract text and tables from a PDF, you can parse document streams using pdfplumber. This approach reads structured text and tabular data directly from standard PDF files.

Can I perform OCR on a scanned PDF to make it searchable?

Yes, you can perform OCR on a scanned PDF to make it searchable. By rendering pages with pdf2image, the skill applies OCR to convert scanned document images into machine-encoded text.

How do I merge, split, and rotate PDF pages?

You can merge, split, and rotate PDF pages by using pypdf to manipulate document structures. This enables combining multiple documents, dividing large files, and reorienting specific pages safely.

Does pypdf support filling both fillable and non-fillable PDF forms?

Yes, pypdf supports filling both fillable and non-fillable PDF forms with safe validation. The skill handles form processing by parsing streams and applying data to document fields securely.

What is the best way to secure a PDF with encryption and watermarks?

The best way to secure a PDF with encryption and watermarks is by applying pypdf for document encryption and overlay rendering. This adds access restrictions and visual security marks to protect your file.

What are the limitations when extracting images from PDF files?

A limitation when extracting images from PDF files is that complex embedded objects may require rendering via pdf2image. This ensures accurate image extraction from parsed streams when standard parsing falls short.
