PDF to Dataset
Convert PDF content into structured datasets and extraction reports. The implementation runs through the hosted Skills runtime, so agents get the instruction file and generated artifacts without receiving parser source, scripts, or model code.
What It Does
- Extracts table-like rows, key-value fields, invoice fields, and semi-structured records from PDFs.
- Produces
dataset.json, dataset.csv, schema.json, extraction-report.md, and manifest.json.
- Includes confidence notes and source metadata for review.
- Supports schema hints for naming columns and expected fields.
- Stores generated outputs as run artifacts for later download.
Usage
skills run pdf-to-dataset -- --input ./invoice.pdf --schema "invoice_number,date,total,vendor"
skills run pdf-to-dataset -- --input ./reports --mode tables --output ./exports/pdf-data
