Can I use this to password-protect my documents?

Yes, it provides Python code snippets using the pypdf library to encrypt documents with user and owner passwords.

Does this skill support command-line tools for faster processing?

Absolutely. It includes comprehensive guidance for using CLI utilities like qpdf, pdftk, and poppler-utils for efficient batch operations.

What is the best tool for extracting complex tables from PDFs?

This toolkit recommends and provides patterns for pdfplumber, which is superior for preserving table layouts and converting them into structured data like Excel or DataFrames.

Can this skill handle scanned PDFs that aren't text-searchable?

Yes, the skill includes specific implementations for OCR using pytesseract and pdf2image to extract text from image-based PDF documents.
