salvage-pdf-to-word

What problem does it solve?

This Skill fixes the common failure mode where converting unstructured, untagged, or form-like PDFs to Word produces garbled reading order and flattened layouts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Parametric PDF salvage pipeline: Converts a structurally-unreliable PDF into a faithful DOCX by rebuilding layout from vector text/rectangle geometry, rather than trusting PDF tags.
• Config-driven pattern authoring per document family: Lets you define a per-corpus config.json (labels, regexes, thresholds, styles) so the same pipeline works across different document types by swapping the pattern vocabulary.
• Auditable intermediate representations: Writes output.ir.json to make classification and block formation inspectable while you iterate.
• Fast visual + preview feedback loop: Produces ground-truth PNG slices of the rendered page and generates a browser preview from the DOCX for sanity checking.

Quick Start

Use the salvage-pdf-to-word skill to convert your messy, untagged PDF into a structured DOCX while iterating on a per-corpus config until the preview matches the visual slices.
