What problem does it solve?
PDF documents are pervasive in business, but extracting text, filling forms, and combining pages often requires manual, repetitive work. This Skill provides a code-first approach to automate common PDF tasks end-to-end.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automate text and table extraction from PDFs using Python libraries like pypdf and pdfplumber.
- Fill out fillable forms and annotate non-fillable ones for automated workflows.
- Batch process PDFs: merge, split, rotate, and annotate to scale document workflows.
Quick Start
Use the provided scripts to inspect and automate PDF tasks on sample PDFs:
- Inspect form fields: python scripts/extract_form_field_info.py sample.pdf fields.json
- Fill fields with JSON data: python scripts/fill_fillable_fields.py sample.pdf fields.json filled.pdf
- Generate validation images for QA: python scripts/create_validation_image.py 1 fields.json sample-page1.png
