Skill instructions
PDF & Document Extraction For DOCX: use python-docx (parses actual document structure, far better than OCR). For PPTX: see the powerpoint skill (uses python-pptx with full slide/notes support). This skill covers PDFs and scanned documents. Step 1: Remote URL Available? If the document has a URL, always try webextract first: webextract(urls=["https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.03300"]) webextract(urls=["https://example.com/report.pdf"]) This handles PDF-to-markdown conversion via Firecrawl with no local dependencies. Only use local extraction when: the file is local, webextract fails, or you need batch processing. Step 2: Choose Local Extractor | Feature | pymupdf (~25MB) | marker-pdf (~3-5GB) | |---------|-----------------|---------------------| | Text-based PDF | ✅ | ✅ | | Scanned PDF (OCR) | ❌ | ✅ (90+ languages) | | Tables | ✅ (basic) | ✅ (high accuracy) | | Equations / LaTeX | ❌ | ✅ | | Code blocks | ❌ | ✅ | | Forms | ❌ | ✅ | | Headers/footers removal | ❌ | ✅ | | Reading order detection |
