Text extraction mangles mathematical notation, dropping or reordering symbols, subscripts, and matrix layouts. For pages with real notation, render the page to an image and read it visually instead of relying on extracted text.
Triage the document first: check page count and per-page text length, image count, and notation density. Then read only the pages that matter, rendering dense pages as images and scanning the rest as text.
Scanned PDFs contain images rather than a text layer, so standard extraction returns empty or low-quality output. Use the OCR path when text extraction yields little or no usable text.
Empty output usually means the page is a scanned image requiring OCR. Garbled output with plausible-looking prose typically indicates mangled mathematical notation, which requires rendering the page as an image instead.
Route credential handling, passwords, signatures, and sensitive extracted content through the dev-security skill. Avoid exposing secret values in logs during encryption, decryption, or form-filling operations.
