feat: add skills system for specialized agent workflows (#6)

Browse Source 
Implement a skills framework that enables specialized workflows for
specific tasks (e.g., PDF processing, web page generation). Skills are
discovered from the skills/ directory and automatically mounted in
sandboxes with path mapping support.

- Add SkillsConfig for configuring skills path and container mount point
- Implement dynamic skill loading from SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter
- Add path mapping in LocalSandbox to translate container paths to local paths
- Mount skills directory in AIO Docker sandbox containers
- Update lead agent prompt to dynamically inject available skills
- Add setup documentation and expand config.example.yaml

This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.
The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.
## Design Thinking
Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
- **Purpose**: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
- **Tone**: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.
- **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
- **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
**CRITICAL**: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity.
Then implement working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is:
- Production-grade and functional
- Visually striking and memorable
- Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view
- Meticulously refined in every detail
## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines
Focus on:
- **Typography**: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter; opt instead for distinctive choices that elevate the frontend's aesthetics; unexpected, characterful font choices. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font.
- **Color & Theme**: Commit to a cohesive aesthetic. Use CSS variables for consistency. Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes.
- **Motion**: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions. Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise.
- **Spatial Composition**: Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Diagonal flow. Grid-breaking elements. Generous negative space OR controlled density.
- **Backgrounds & Visual Details**: Create atmosphere and depth rather than defaulting to solid colors. Add contextual effects and textures that match the overall aesthetic. Apply creative forms like gradient meshes, noise textures, geometric patterns, layered transparencies, dramatic shadows, decorative borders, custom cursors, and grain overlays.
NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character.
Interpret creatively and make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context. No design should be the same. Vary between light and dark themes, different fonts, different aesthetics. NEVER converge on common choices (Space Grotesk, for example) across generations.
**IMPORTANT**: Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code with extensive animations and effects. Minimalist or refined designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details. Elegance comes from executing the vision well.
Remember: Claude is capable of extraordinary creative work. Don't hold back, show what can truly be created when thinking outside the box and committing fully to a distinctive vision.

# PDF Processing Guide
## Overview
This guide covers essential PDF processing operations using Python libraries and command-line tools. For advanced features, JavaScript libraries, and detailed examples, see reference.md. If you need to fill out a PDF form, read forms.md and follow its instructions.
## Quick Start
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter
# Read a PDF
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
print(f"Pages: {len(reader.pages)}")
# Extract text
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
text += page.extract_text()
```
## Python Libraries
### pypdf - Basic Operations
#### Merge PDFs
```python
from pypdf import PdfWriter, PdfReader
writer = PdfWriter()
for pdf_file in ["doc1.pdf", "doc2.pdf", "doc3.pdf"]:
reader = PdfReader(pdf_file)
for page in reader.pages:
writer.add_page(page)
with open("merged.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```
#### Split PDF
```python
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
for i, page in enumerate(reader.pages):
writer = PdfWriter()
writer.add_page(page)
with open(f"page_{i+1}.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```
#### Extract Metadata
```python
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
meta = reader.metadata
print(f"Title: {meta.title}")
print(f"Author: {meta.author}")
print(f"Subject: {meta.subject}")
print(f"Creator: {meta.creator}")
```
#### Rotate Pages
```python
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()
page = reader.pages[0]
page.rotate(90) # Rotate 90 degrees clockwise
writer.add_page(page)
with open("rotated.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```
### pdfplumber - Text and Table Extraction
#### Extract Text with Layout
```python
import pdfplumber
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
for page in pdf.pages:
text = page.extract_text()
print(text)
```
#### Extract Tables
```python
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
for i, page in enumerate(pdf.pages):
tables = page.extract_tables()
for j, table in enumerate(tables):
print(f"Table {j+1} on page {i+1}:")
for row in table:
print(row)
```
#### Advanced Table Extraction
```python
import pandas as pd
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
all_tables = []
for page in pdf.pages:
tables = page.extract_tables()
for table in tables:
if table: # Check if table is not empty
df = pd.DataFrame(table[1:], columns=table[0])
all_tables.append(df)
# Combine all tables
if all_tables:
combined_df = pd.concat(all_tables, ignore_index=True)
combined_df.to_excel("extracted_tables.xlsx", index=False)
```
### reportlab - Create PDFs
#### Basic PDF Creation
```python
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf", pagesize=letter)
width, height = letter
# Add text
c.drawString(100, height - 100, "Hello World!")
c.drawString(100, height - 120, "This is a PDF created with reportlab")
# Add a line
c.line(100, height - 140, 400, height - 140)
# Save
c.save()
```
#### Create PDF with Multiple Pages
```python
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Paragraph, Spacer, PageBreak
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
doc = SimpleDocTemplate("report.pdf", pagesize=letter)
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
story = []
# Add content
title = Paragraph("Report Title", styles['Title'])
story.append(title)
story.append(Spacer(1, 12))
body = Paragraph("This is the body of the report. " * 20, styles['Normal'])
story.append(body)
story.append(PageBreak())
# Page 2
story.append(Paragraph("Page 2", styles['Heading1']))
story.append(Paragraph("Content for page 2", styles['Normal']))
# Build PDF
doc.build(story)
```
## Command-Line Tools
### pdftotext (poppler-utils)
```bash
# Extract text
pdftotext input.pdf output.txt
# Extract text preserving layout
pdftotext -layout input.pdf output.txt
# Extract specific pages
pdftotext -f 1 -l 5 input.pdf output.txt # Pages 1-5
```
### qpdf
```bash
# Merge PDFs
qpdf --empty --pages file1.pdf file2.pdf -- merged.pdf
# Split pages
qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-5 -- pages1-5.pdf
qpdf input.pdf --pages . 6-10 -- pages6-10.pdf
# Rotate pages
qpdf input.pdf output.pdf --rotate=+90:1 # Rotate page 1 by 90 degrees
# Remove password
qpdf --password=mypassword --decrypt encrypted.pdf decrypted.pdf
```
### pdftk (if available)
```bash
# Merge
pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf cat output merged.pdf
# Split
pdftk input.pdf burst
# Rotate
pdftk input.pdf rotate 1east output rotated.pdf
```
## Common Tasks
### Extract Text from Scanned PDFs
```python
# Requires: pip install pytesseract pdf2image
import pytesseract
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
# Convert PDF to images
images = convert_from_path('scanned.pdf')
# OCR each page
text = ""
for i, image in enumerate(images):
text += f"Page {i+1}:\n"
text += pytesseract.image_to_string(image)
text += "\n\n"
print(text)
```
### Add Watermark
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter
# Create watermark (or load existing)
watermark = PdfReader("watermark.pdf").pages[0]
# Apply to all pages
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()
for page in reader.pages:
page.merge_page(watermark)
writer.add_page(page)
with open("watermarked.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```
### Extract Images
```bash
# Using pdfimages (poppler-utils)
pdfimages -j input.pdf output_prefix
# This extracts all images as output_prefix-000.jpg, output_prefix-001.jpg, etc.
```
### Password Protection
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()
for page in reader.pages:
writer.add_page(page)
# Add password
writer.encrypt("userpassword", "ownerpassword")
with open("encrypted.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```

**CRITICAL: You MUST complete these steps in order. Do not skip ahead to writing code.**
If you need to fill out a PDF form, first check to see if the PDF has fillable form fields. Run this script from this file's directory:
`python scripts/check_fillable_fields <file.pdf>`, and depending on the result go to either the "Fillable fields" or "Non-fillable fields" and follow those instructions.
# Fillable fields
If the PDF has fillable form fields:
- Run this script from this file's directory: `python scripts/extract_form_field_info.py <input.pdf> <field_info.json>`. It will create a JSON file with a list of fields in this format:
```
[
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"rect": ([left, bottom, right, top] bounding box in PDF coordinates, y=0 is the bottom of the page),
"type": ("text", "checkbox", "radio_group", or "choice"),
},
// Checkboxes have "checked_value" and "unchecked_value" properties:
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "checkbox",
"checked_value": (Set the field to this value to check the checkbox),
"unchecked_value": (Set the field to this value to uncheck the checkbox),
},
// Radio groups have a "radio_options" list with the possible choices.
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "radio_group",
"radio_options": [
{
"value": (set the field to this value to select this radio option),
"rect": (bounding box for the radio button for this option)
},
// Other radio options
]
},
// Multiple choice fields have a "choice_options" list with the possible choices:
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "choice",
"choice_options": [
{
"value": (set the field to this value to select this option),
"text": (display text of the option)
},
// Other choice options
],
}
]
```
- Convert the PDF to PNGs (one image for each page) with this script (run from this file's directory):
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <file.pdf> <output_directory>`
Then analyze the images to determine the purpose of each form field (make sure to convert the bounding box PDF coordinates to image coordinates).
- Create a `field_values.json` file in this format with the values to be entered for each field:
```
[
{
"field_id": "last_name", // Must match the field_id from `extract_form_field_info.py`
"description": "The user's last name",
"page": 1, // Must match the "page" value in field_info.json
"value": "Simpson"
},
{
"field_id": "Checkbox12",
"description": "Checkbox to be checked if the user is 18 or over",
"page": 1,
"value": "/On" // If this is a checkbox, use its "checked_value" value to check it. If it's a radio button group, use one of the "value" values in "radio_options".
},
// more fields
]
```
- Run the `fill_fillable_fields.py` script from this file's directory to create a filled-in PDF:
`python scripts/fill_fillable_fields.py <input pdf> <field_values.json> <output pdf>`
This script will verify that the field IDs and values you provide are valid; if it prints error messages, correct the appropriate fields and try again.
# Non-fillable fields
If the PDF doesn't have fillable form fields, you'll need to visually determine where the data should be added and create text annotations. Follow the below steps *exactly*. You MUST perform all of these steps to ensure that the the form is accurately completed. Details for each step are below.
- Convert the PDF to PNG images and determine field bounding boxes.
- Create a JSON file with field information and validation images showing the bounding boxes.
- Validate the the bounding boxes.
- Use the bounding boxes to fill in the form.
## Step 1: Visual Analysis (REQUIRED)
- Convert the PDF to PNG images. Run this script from this file's directory:
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <file.pdf> <output_directory>`
The script will create a PNG image for each page in the PDF.
- Carefully examine each PNG image and identify all form fields and areas where the user should enter data. For each form field where the user should enter text, determine bounding boxes for both the form field label, and the area where the user should enter text. The label and entry bounding boxes MUST NOT INTERSECT; the text entry box should only include the area where data should be entered. Usually this area will be immediately to the side, above, or below its label. Entry bounding boxes must be tall and wide enough to contain their text.
These are some examples of form structures that you might see:
*Label inside box*
```
┌────────────────────────┐
│ Name: │
└────────────────────────┘
```
The input area should be to the right of the "Name" label and extend to the edge of the box.
*Label before line*
```
Email: _______________________
```
The input area should be above the line and include its entire width.
*Label under line*
```
_________________________
Name
```
The input area should be above the line and include the entire width of the line. This is common for signature and date fields.
*Label above line*
```
Please enter any special requests:
________________________________________________
```
The input area should extend from the bottom of the label to the line, and should include the entire width of the line.
*Checkboxes*
```
Are you a US citizen? Yes □ No □
```
For checkboxes:
- Look for small square boxes (□) - these are the actual checkboxes to target. They may be to the left or right of their labels.
- Distinguish between label text ("Yes", "No") and the clickable checkbox squares.
- The entry bounding box should cover ONLY the small square, not the text label.
### Step 2: Create fields.json and validation images (REQUIRED)
- Create a file named `fields.json` with information for the form fields and bounding boxes in this format:
```
{
"pages": [
{
"page_number": 1,
"image_width": (first page image width in pixels),
"image_height": (first page image height in pixels),
},
{
"page_number": 2,
"image_width": (second page image width in pixels),
"image_height": (second page image height in pixels),
}
// additional pages
],
"form_fields": [
// Example for a text field.
{
"page_number": 1,
"description": "The user's last name should be entered here",
// Bounding boxes are [left, top, right, bottom]. The bounding boxes for the label and text entry should not overlap.
"field_label": "Last name",
"label_bounding_box": [30, 125, 95, 142],
"entry_bounding_box": [100, 125, 280, 142],
"entry_text": {
"text": "Johnson", // This text will be added as an annotation at the entry_bounding_box location
"font_size": 14, // optional, defaults to 14
"font_color": "000000", // optional, RRGGBB format, defaults to 000000 (black)
}
},
// Example for a checkbox. TARGET THE SQUARE for the entry bounding box, NOT THE TEXT
{
"page_number": 2,
"description": "Checkbox that should be checked if the user is over 18",
"entry_bounding_box": [140, 525, 155, 540], // Small box over checkbox square
"field_label": "Yes",
"label_bounding_box": [100, 525, 132, 540], // Box containing "Yes" text
// Use "X" to check a checkbox.
"entry_text": {
"text": "X",
}
}
// additional form field entries
]
}
```
Create validation images by running this script from this file's directory for each page:
`python scripts/create_validation_image.py <page_number> <path_to_fields.json> <input_image_path> <output_image_path>
The validation images will have red rectangles where text should be entered, and blue rectangles covering label text.
### Step 3: Validate Bounding Boxes (REQUIRED)
#### Automated intersection check
- Verify that none of bounding boxes intersect and that the entry bounding boxes are tall enough by checking the fields.json file with the `check_bounding_boxes.py` script (run from this file's directory):
`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py <JSON file>`
If there are errors, reanalyze the relevant fields, adjust the bounding boxes, and iterate until there are no remaining errors. Remember: label (blue) bounding boxes should contain text labels, entry (red) boxes should not.
#### Manual image inspection
**CRITICAL: Do not proceed without visually inspecting validation images**
- Red rectangles must ONLY cover input areas
- Red rectangles MUST NOT contain any text
- Blue rectangles should contain label text
- For checkboxes:
- Red rectangle MUST be centered on the checkbox square
- Blue rectangle should cover the text label for the checkbox
- If any rectangles look wrong, fix fields.json, regenerate the validation images, and verify again. Repeat this process until the bounding boxes are fully accurate.
### Step 4: Add annotations to the PDF
Run this script from this file's directory to create a filled-out PDF using the information in fields.json:
`python scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py <input_pdf_path> <path_to_fields.json> <output_pdf_path>

# PDF Processing Advanced Reference
This document contains advanced PDF processing features, detailed examples, and additional libraries not covered in the main skill instructions.
## pypdfium2 Library (Apache/BSD License)
### Overview
pypdfium2 is a Python binding for PDFium (Chromium's PDF library). It's excellent for fast PDF rendering, image generation, and serves as a PyMuPDF replacement.
### Render PDF to Images
```python
import pypdfium2 as pdfium
from PIL import Image
# Load PDF
pdf = pdfium.PdfDocument("document.pdf")
# Render page to image
page = pdf[0] # First page
bitmap = page.render(
scale=2.0, # Higher resolution
rotation=0 # No rotation
)
# Convert to PIL Image
img = bitmap.to_pil()
img.save("page_1.png", "PNG")
# Process multiple pages
for i, page in enumerate(pdf):
bitmap = page.render(scale=1.5)
img = bitmap.to_pil()
img.save(f"page_{i+1}.jpg", "JPEG", quality=90)
```
### Extract Text with pypdfium2
```python
import pypdfium2 as pdfium
pdf = pdfium.PdfDocument("document.pdf")
for i, page in enumerate(pdf):
text = page.get_text()
print(f"Page {i+1} text length: {len(text)} chars")
```
## JavaScript Libraries
### pdf-lib (MIT License)
pdf-lib is a powerful JavaScript library for creating and modifying PDF documents in any JavaScript environment.
#### Load and Manipulate Existing PDF
```javascript
import { PDFDocument } from 'pdf-lib';
import fs from 'fs';
async function manipulatePDF() {
// Load existing PDF
const existingPdfBytes = fs.readFileSync('input.pdf');
const pdfDoc = await PDFDocument.load(existingPdfBytes);
// Get page count
const pageCount = pdfDoc.getPageCount();
console.log(`Document has ${pageCount} pages`);
// Add new page
const newPage = pdfDoc.addPage([600, 400]);
newPage.drawText('Added by pdf-lib', {
x: 100,
y: 300,
size: 16
});
// Save modified PDF
const pdfBytes = await pdfDoc.save();
fs.writeFileSync('modified.pdf', pdfBytes);
}
```
#### Create Complex PDFs from Scratch
```javascript
import { PDFDocument, rgb, StandardFonts } from 'pdf-lib';
import fs from 'fs';
async function createPDF() {
const pdfDoc = await PDFDocument.create();
// Add fonts
const helveticaFont = await pdfDoc.embedFont(StandardFonts.Helvetica);
const helveticaBold = await pdfDoc.embedFont(StandardFonts.HelveticaBold);
// Add page
const page = pdfDoc.addPage([595, 842]); // A4 size
const { width, height } = page.getSize();
// Add text with styling
page.drawText('Invoice #12345', {
x: 50,
y: height - 50,
size: 18,
font: helveticaBold,
color: rgb(0.2, 0.2, 0.8)
});
// Add rectangle (header background)
page.drawRectangle({
x: 40,
y: height - 100,
width: width - 80,
height: 30,
color: rgb(0.9, 0.9, 0.9)
});
// Add table-like content
const items = [
['Item', 'Qty', 'Price', 'Total'],
['Widget', '2', '$50', '$100'],
['Gadget', '1', '$75', '$75']
];
let yPos = height - 150;
items.forEach(row => {
let xPos = 50;
row.forEach(cell => {
page.drawText(cell, {
x: xPos,
y: yPos,
size: 12,
font: helveticaFont
});
xPos += 120;
});
yPos -= 25;
});
const pdfBytes = await pdfDoc.save();
fs.writeFileSync('created.pdf', pdfBytes);
}
```
#### Advanced Merge and Split Operations
```javascript
import { PDFDocument } from 'pdf-lib';
import fs from 'fs';
async function mergePDFs() {
// Create new document
const mergedPdf = await PDFDocument.create();
// Load source PDFs
const pdf1Bytes = fs.readFileSync('doc1.pdf');
const pdf2Bytes = fs.readFileSync('doc2.pdf');
const pdf1 = await PDFDocument.load(pdf1Bytes);
const pdf2 = await PDFDocument.load(pdf2Bytes);
// Copy pages from first PDF
const pdf1Pages = await mergedPdf.copyPages(pdf1, pdf1.getPageIndices());
pdf1Pages.forEach(page => mergedPdf.addPage(page));
// Copy specific pages from second PDF (pages 0, 2, 4)
const pdf2Pages = await mergedPdf.copyPages(pdf2, [0, 2, 4]);
pdf2Pages.forEach(page => mergedPdf.addPage(page));
const mergedPdfBytes = await mergedPdf.save();
fs.writeFileSync('merged.pdf', mergedPdfBytes);
}
```
### pdfjs-dist (Apache License)
PDF.js is Mozilla's JavaScript library for rendering PDFs in the browser.
#### Basic PDF Loading and Rendering
```javascript
import * as pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist';
// Configure worker (important for performance)
pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = './pdf.worker.js';
async function renderPDF() {
// Load PDF
const loadingTask = pdfjsLib.getDocument('document.pdf');
const pdf = await loadingTask.promise;
console.log(`Loaded PDF with ${pdf.numPages} pages`);
// Get first page
const page = await pdf.getPage(1);
const viewport = page.getViewport({ scale: 1.5 });
// Render to canvas
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.height = viewport.height;
canvas.width = viewport.width;
const renderContext = {
canvasContext: context,
viewport: viewport
};
await page.render(renderContext).promise;
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
}
```
#### Extract Text with Coordinates
```javascript
import * as pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist';
async function extractText() {
const loadingTask = pdfjsLib.getDocument('document.pdf');
const pdf = await loadingTask.promise;
let fullText = '';
// Extract text from all pages
for (let i = 1; i <= pdf.numPages; i++) {
const page = await pdf.getPage(i);
const textContent = await page.getTextContent();
const pageText = textContent.items
.map(item => item.str)
.join(' ');
fullText += `\n--- Page ${i} ---\n${pageText}`;
// Get text with coordinates for advanced processing
const textWithCoords = textContent.items.map(item => ({
text: item.str,
x: item.transform[4],
y: item.transform[5],
width: item.width,
height: item.height
}));
}
console.log(fullText);
return fullText;
}
```
#### Extract Annotations and Forms
```javascript
import * as pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist';
async function extractAnnotations() {
const loadingTask = pdfjsLib.getDocument('annotated.pdf');
const pdf = await loadingTask.promise;
for (let i = 1; i <= pdf.numPages; i++) {
const page = await pdf.getPage(i);
const annotations = await page.getAnnotations();
annotations.forEach(annotation => {
console.log(`Annotation type: ${annotation.subtype}`);
console.log(`Content: ${annotation.contents}`);
console.log(`Coordinates: ${JSON.stringify(annotation.rect)}`);
});
}
}
```
## Advanced Command-Line Operations
### poppler-utils Advanced Features
#### Extract Text with Bounding Box Coordinates
```bash
# Extract text with bounding box coordinates (essential for structured data)
pdftotext -bbox-layout document.pdf output.xml
# The XML output contains precise coordinates for each text element
```
#### Advanced Image Conversion
```bash
# Convert to PNG images with specific resolution
pdftoppm -png -r 300 document.pdf output_prefix
# Convert specific page range with high resolution
pdftoppm -png -r 600 -f 1 -l 3 document.pdf high_res_pages
# Convert to JPEG with quality setting
pdftoppm -jpeg -jpegopt quality=85 -r 200 document.pdf jpeg_output
```
#### Extract Embedded Images
```bash
# Extract all embedded images with metadata
pdfimages -j -p document.pdf page_images
# List image info without extracting
pdfimages -list document.pdf
# Extract images in their original format
pdfimages -all document.pdf images/img
```
### qpdf Advanced Features
#### Complex Page Manipulation
```bash
# Split PDF into groups of pages
qpdf --split-pages=3 input.pdf output_group_%02d.pdf
# Extract specific pages with complex ranges
qpdf input.pdf --pages input.pdf 1,3-5,8,10-end -- extracted.pdf
# Merge specific pages from multiple PDFs
qpdf --empty --pages doc1.pdf 1-3 doc2.pdf 5-7 doc3.pdf 2,4 -- combined.pdf
```
#### PDF Optimization and Repair
```bash
# Optimize PDF for web (linearize for streaming)
qpdf --linearize input.pdf optimized.pdf
# Remove unused objects and compress
qpdf --optimize-level=all input.pdf compressed.pdf
# Attempt to repair corrupted PDF structure
qpdf --check input.pdf
qpdf --fix-qdf damaged.pdf repaired.pdf
# Show detailed PDF structure for debugging
qpdf --show-all-pages input.pdf > structure.txt
```
#### Advanced Encryption
```bash
# Add password protection with specific permissions
qpdf --encrypt user_pass owner_pass 256 --print=none --modify=none -- input.pdf encrypted.pdf
# Check encryption status
qpdf --show-encryption encrypted.pdf
# Remove password protection (requires password)
qpdf --password=secret123 --decrypt encrypted.pdf decrypted.pdf
```
## Advanced Python Techniques
### pdfplumber Advanced Features
#### Extract Text with Precise Coordinates
```python
import pdfplumber
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
page = pdf.pages[0]
# Extract all text with coordinates
chars = page.chars
for char in chars[:10]: # First 10 characters
print(f"Char: '{char['text']}' at x:{char['x0']:.1f} y:{char['y0']:.1f}")
# Extract text by bounding box (left, top, right, bottom)
bbox_text = page.within_bbox((100, 100, 400, 200)).extract_text()
```
#### Advanced Table Extraction with Custom Settings
```python
import pdfplumber
import pandas as pd
with pdfplumber.open("complex_table.pdf") as pdf:
page = pdf.pages[0]
# Extract tables with custom settings for complex layouts
table_settings = {
"vertical_strategy": "lines",
"horizontal_strategy": "lines",
"snap_tolerance": 3,
"intersection_tolerance": 15
}
tables = page.extract_tables(table_settings)
# Visual debugging for table extraction
img = page.to_image(resolution=150)
img.save("debug_layout.png")
```
### reportlab Advanced Features
#### Create Professional Reports with Tables
```python
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Table, TableStyle, Paragraph
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
from reportlab.lib import colors
# Sample data
data = [
['Product', 'Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4'],
['Widgets', '120', '135', '142', '158'],
['Gadgets', '85', '92', '98', '105']
]
# Create PDF with table
doc = SimpleDocTemplate("report.pdf")
elements = []
# Add title
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
title = Paragraph("Quarterly Sales Report", styles['Title'])
elements.append(title)
# Add table with advanced styling
table = Table(data)
table.setStyle(TableStyle([
('BACKGROUND', (0, 0), (-1, 0), colors.grey),
('TEXTCOLOR', (0, 0), (-1, 0), colors.whitesmoke),
('ALIGN', (0, 0), (-1, -1), 'CENTER'),
('FONTNAME', (0, 0), (-1, 0), 'Helvetica-Bold'),
('FONTSIZE', (0, 0), (-1, 0), 14),
('BOTTOMPADDING', (0, 0), (-1, 0), 12),
('BACKGROUND', (0, 1), (-1, -1), colors.beige),
('GRID', (0, 0), (-1, -1), 1, colors.black)
]))
elements.append(table)
doc.build(elements)
```
## Complex Workflows
### Extract Figures/Images from PDF
#### Method 1: Using pdfimages (fastest)
```bash
# Extract all images with original quality
pdfimages -all document.pdf images/img
```
#### Method 2: Using pypdfium2 + Image Processing
```python
import pypdfium2 as pdfium
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
def extract_figures(pdf_path, output_dir):
pdf = pdfium.PdfDocument(pdf_path)
for page_num, page in enumerate(pdf):
# Render high-resolution page
bitmap = page.render(scale=3.0)
img = bitmap.to_pil()
# Convert to numpy for processing
img_array = np.array(img)
# Simple figure detection (non-white regions)
mask = np.any(img_array != [255, 255, 255], axis=2)
# Find contours and extract bounding boxes
# (This is simplified - real implementation would need more sophisticated detection)
# Save detected figures
# ... implementation depends on specific needs
```
### Batch PDF Processing with Error Handling
```python
import os
import glob
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def batch_process_pdfs(input_dir, operation='merge'):
pdf_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(input_dir, "*.pdf"))
if operation == 'merge':
writer = PdfWriter()
for pdf_file in pdf_files:
try:
reader = PdfReader(pdf_file)
for page in reader.pages:
writer.add_page(page)
logger.info(f"Processed: {pdf_file}")
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Failed to process {pdf_file}: {e}")
continue
with open("batch_merged.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
elif operation == 'extract_text':
for pdf_file in pdf_files:
try:
reader = PdfReader(pdf_file)
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
text += page.extract_text()
output_file = pdf_file.replace('.pdf', '.txt')
with open(output_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
f.write(text)
logger.info(f"Extracted text from: {pdf_file}")
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Failed to extract text from {pdf_file}: {e}")
continue
```
### Advanced PDF Cropping
```python
from pypdf import PdfWriter, PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()
# Crop page (left, bottom, right, top in points)
page = reader.pages[0]
page.mediabox.left = 50
page.mediabox.bottom = 50
page.mediabox.right = 550
page.mediabox.top = 750
writer.add_page(page)
with open("cropped.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```
## Performance Optimization Tips
### 1. For Large PDFs
- Use streaming approaches instead of loading entire PDF in memory
- Use `qpdf --split-pages` for splitting large files
- Process pages individually with pypdfium2
### 2. For Text Extraction
- `pdftotext -bbox-layout` is fastest for plain text extraction
- Use pdfplumber for structured data and tables
- Avoid `pypdf.extract_text()` for very large documents
### 3. For Image Extraction
- `pdfimages` is much faster than rendering pages
- Use low resolution for previews, high resolution for final output
### 4. For Form Filling
- pdf-lib maintains form structure better than most alternatives
- Pre-validate form fields before processing
### 5. Memory Management
```python
# Process PDFs in chunks
def process_large_pdf(pdf_path, chunk_size=10):
reader = PdfReader(pdf_path)
total_pages = len(reader.pages)
for start_idx in range(0, total_pages, chunk_size):
end_idx = min(start_idx + chunk_size, total_pages)
writer = PdfWriter()
for i in range(start_idx, end_idx):
writer.add_page(reader.pages[i])
# Process chunk
with open(f"chunk_{start_idx//chunk_size}.pdf", "wb") as output:
writer.write(output)
```
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
### Encrypted PDFs
```python
# Handle password-protected PDFs
from pypdf import PdfReader
try:
reader = PdfReader("encrypted.pdf")
if reader.is_encrypted:
reader.decrypt("password")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to decrypt: {e}")
```
### Corrupted PDFs
```bash
# Use qpdf to repair
qpdf --check corrupted.pdf
qpdf --replace-input corrupted.pdf
```
### Text Extraction Issues
```python
# Fallback to OCR for scanned PDFs
import pytesseract
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
def extract_text_with_ocr(pdf_path):
images = convert_from_path(pdf_path)
text = ""
for i, image in enumerate(images):
text += pytesseract.image_to_string(image)
return text
```
