PDF Data Extraction

Extract text and structured data from PDF documents using a multi-backend approach with automatic fallback.

Overview

This skill provides PDF text extraction with 9 different backends, automatic GPU detection, and intelligent backend selection. The extraction system tries backends in order until one succeeds, producing markdown output optimized for further processing.

Quick Start Workflow

To extract text from PDFs:

1. Single file extraction (installed CLI - recommended):

   extract-pdfs /path/to/document.pdf
   

   Output: Creates document.md in the same directory.
