What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive toolkit to automate PDF processing tasks such as extracting text and tables, creating and merging PDFs, and handling forms, reducing manual effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automate text and table extraction from PDFs using Python libraries like pypdf and, when needed, pdfplumber.
• Create, merge, split, and annotate PDFs, and fill form fields programmatically or via annotation-based workflows.
• Use in batch workflows such as invoice processing, document digitization, and archival to improve speed and consistency.

Quick Start

Run the available Python scripts in the skills-pdf/skills directory to inspect PDFs, extract data, convert pages to images, and fill forms. Example workflows include extracting form field definitions with extract_form_field_info.py, converting PDFs to images with convert_pdf_to_images.py, and filling fields with fill_fillable_fields.py or fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py.
