Screenplay PDF to FDX

Convert the screenplay by reconstructing its semantic paragraphs. Treat PDF text extraction as transcription evidence, not as an authoritative parse.

Required outcome

Deliver an .fdx that:

• preserves the source wording and authored scene numbers;
• represents every screenplay paragraph with the correct Final Draft element;
• excludes page headers, page numbers, and extraction artifacts;
• opens cleanly in an FDX-capable editor; and
• passes the supplied structural validator.

This is a format conversion. Do not rewrite, modernize, summarize, repair story logic, invent act headings, or silently correct the author's wording. Record uncertain readings for review instead of guessing.
