What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the challenging task of extracting content from PDF documents, making them accessible and editable for AI analysis. It eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting or complex third-party tools, saving significant manual effort and enabling faster data processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• PDF to Markdown Conversion: Transforms PDF documents into structured Markdown, preserving text and tables while making the content easily readable and editable by AI. Use it to quickly get the content of a research paper, invoice, or legal document into a usable text format.
• Page Image Export: Exports each PDF page as a high-resolution JPG image, ideal for UI/design analysis, visual inspection, or when text extraction is insufficient. Use it for reviewing design mockups, analyzing complex diagrams, or verifying document layouts.
• Automated Content Cleanup: Automatically identifies and suggests fixes for common conversion issues like duplicate table columns, excessive line breaks, or empty tables. This ensures the generated Markdown is clean and optimized for further AI processing.
