pypdf

Use scripts/pypdf_cli.py for deterministic PDF operations instead of ad-hoc pypdf snippets.

Workflow

1. Confirm the PDF file path is accessible locally.
2. Run the desired command (inspect, extract-text, extract-pages, merge, split, rotate).
3. Inspect text output or the resulting PDF file.

Command Guide

• Inspect metadata and page count:
  • python scripts/pypdf_cli.py info --input <file.pdf>
• Extract all text:
  • python scripts/pypdf_cli.py extract-text --input <file.pdf>
• Extract text from specific pages (0-indexed):
  • python scripts/pypdf_cli.py extract-text --input <file.pdf> --pages 0 1 2
• Split PDF into individual pages:
