What are the technical requirements?

This skill requires Python and the 'pdfplumber' package installed in your environment (pip install pdfplumber).

Is multi-file processing supported?

Yes, you can use glob patterns to identify multiple PDF files, and the skill can iterate through them to extract content.

Does this skill support OCR for scanned PDFs?

No, this skill extracts text layers directly. Scanned documents without a text layer require a separate OCR-capable skill.

Can it extract images from the PDF?

No, this skill focuses on text and table extraction. Embedded images and complex styling like colors or fonts are not preserved.

How does it handle Windows file paths?

The skill automatically converts standard Windows paths (C:\...) into WSL-compatible paths (/mnt/c/...) for seamless use in Windows environments.
