Which Python library is best for extracting tables from PDFs?

pdfplumber is the recommended tool for table extraction as it accurately recognizes cell boundaries and converts PDF tables into structured Python lists or Pandas DataFrames.

Can I use this skill to process scanned documents?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for using pytesseract and pdf2image to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on scanned PDF pages.

Is it possible to password-protect my PDFs?

Absolutely. The skill provides implementation examples for using pypdf to encrypt documents with both user and owner passwords during the writing process.

How do I merge multiple PDFs into one?

You can use the pypdf library's PdfWriter class to programmatically append pages from multiple files, or use the qpdf command-line tool for a fast shell-based solution.
