How do I secure my PDF documents using this skill?

The skill includes instructions for adding password protection (encryption) and watermarks to PDF files using the pypdf library.

Can I extract tables from PDFs into Excel format?

Yes, the skill provides specific patterns using pdfplumber combined with pandas to extract tabular data and export it to Excel (XLSX) or CSV files.

Which Python libraries does this skill use?

It primarily utilizes pypdf for basic operations like merging and splitting, pdfplumber for complex data extraction, and reportlab for programmatic document generation.

Can I use this skill for command-line PDF processing?

Absolutely, it includes examples for powerful CLI tools such as qpdf, pdftotext (poppler-utils), and pdftk for quick document manipulation without writing code.

Does it support OCR for scanned PDF documents?

Yes, it includes implementation guides for using pytesseract and pdf2image to convert scanned pages into images and then into machine-readable text.
