Pdf Extractor

This pulls text, tables, and images out of PDFs using pdfplumber, which is solid for document processing work. You get CLI commands for extracting tables to CSV, grabbing images from presentations, or batch converting entire folders to text. The page selection options (ranges, specific pages) are handy when you're dealing with chunky reports. It won't handle scanned PDFs or complex layouts perfectly, but for standard PDF data extraction it's straightforward and saves you from copying tables by hand. Built by ClawFu, includes merge and info commands as bonuses.
