SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pypdf, pymupdf, ocrmypdf, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Turn a PDF ebook into a professional Chinese knowledge-summary LaTeX note and rendered PDF. Use when Codex receives a book, paper-like ebook, textbook chapter, scanned PDF, or image-only PDF and must detect whether OCR is needed, preserve and reuse the book's figures instead of ignoring them, extract and reorganize the core knowledge points, and deliver a complete summary package with extracted assets and a compiled PDF. Use especially when the user wants key-point summaries, chapter takeaways, exam review notes, memorization-first notes, or a concise knowledge map derived from a PDF.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect PDFs to estimate text coverage and image density and decide if OCR is needed.
  • Preserve original visuals (figures, formulas, tables) and extract assets for a complete LaTeX notebook.
  • Reconstruct a structured LaTeX document with sections and knowledge boxes, and compile to a final PDF.
  • Support dual modes: knowledge-summary and exam-cram, and enable multi-agent workflows for large books.

Quick Start

Provide the PDF path and optional mode; the skill will generate a full LaTeX note package and a rendered PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions about ebook-render-pdf

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a scanned PDF into structured LaTeX notes?▼

To convert a scanned PDF into structured LaTeX notes, you need an OCR-capable workflow that detects text coverage, applies OCR if necessary, and reconstructs the extracted knowledge points into a compilable .tex document.

Does this workflow preserve original figures and tables from research papers?▼

Yes, the PDF note generation process preserves original figures, formulas, and tables by extracting them as reusable assets, ensuring the final compiled LaTeX document maintains the source material's visual integrity.

Can I generate exam review notes from a textbook PDF?▼

Yes, you can generate exam review notes from a textbook PDF by utilizing the exam-cram mode, which reorganizes core knowledge points into concise, memorization-first summaries suitable for test preparation.

Do I need OCRMYPDF and PyMuPDF to process image-only PDFs?▼

Yes, extracting text from image-only PDFs requires OCRMYPDF, PyMuPDF, and PyPDF to inspect image density, apply optical character recognition, and extract assets for the final LaTeX document.

What is the best way to summarize a large ebook into a Chinese knowledge map?▼

The best way to summarize a large ebook into a Chinese knowledge map is using a multi-agent workflow that extracts key points, preserves provenance, and outputs a structured .tex file alongside a rendered PDF.

Why does my PDF to LaTeX conversion fail on multi-agent workflows?▼

PDF to LaTeX conversion may fail in multi-agent workflows if the OCR-capable workflow lacks proper LaTeX templates or if asset extraction tools like PyMuPDF cannot correctly parse the source document's image density.
