Use this skill to read text from .pdf files.
Print text content from a .pdf, page by page.
python org/public/core/pdf/extract.py <path-to-file.pdf>
Output is plain text with --- page N --- separators. PDFs that are pure
scans (image-only, no embedded text layer) will produce empty pages — OCR is
not performed.
For metadata, structure, splitting, merging, or filling forms, import pypdf
directly. The library is preinstalled.
from pypdf import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("/path/to/file.pdf")
for page in reader.pages:
text = page.extract_text()
