pdf

Extract the text with the exec tool, then answer from it:

• Whole document: pdftotext 'inbox/<file>.pdf' -
• Page range: pdftotext -f 2 -l 5 'inbox/<file>.pdf' -
• Layout-preserving (tables): pdftotext -layout 'inbox/<file>.pdf' -

The trailing - prints to stdout. Long output gets truncated — prefer page ranges for big documents, or pdftotext ... out.txt + read with line ranges.

If nothing comes out, the PDF is probably a scanned image without a text layer — say so instead of guessing. To share the file (or a processed copy) back to the chat, use send_file.
