+
+# Core: PDF Processing
+
+Always-loaded foundation for doing anything with PDF files using Python libraries and command-line tools. Load the focused minis (see INDEX) for creation, extraction, merging/splitting, images/OCR, encryption, form-filling, and library/performance guidance.
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill covers essential PDF processing operations using Python libraries and command-line tools. For advanced features, JavaScript libraries, and detailed examples, see the extraction, merge/split, images-ocr, and libraries-reference minis. If you need to fill out a PDF form, read the forms mini 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()
+```
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Task | Best Tool | Command/Code |
+|------|-----------|--------------|
+| Merge PDFs | pypdf | `writer.add_page(page)` |
+| Split PDFs | pypdf | One page per file |
+| Extract text | pdfplumber | `page.extract_text()` |
+| Extract tables | pdfplumber | `page.extract_tables()` |
+| Create PDFs | reportlab | Canvas or Platypus |
+| Command line merge | qpdf | `qpdf --empty --pages ...` |
+| OCR scanned PDFs | pytesseract | Convert to image first |
+| Fill PDF forms | pdf-lib or pypdf (see forms mini) | See forms mini |
+
+## Vendored scripts
+
+The form-filling helper scripts referenced by the forms mini (`check_fillable_fields.py`, `extract_form_field_info.py`, `convert_pdf_to_images.py`, `fill_fillable_fields.py`, `extract_form_structure.py`, `check_bounding_boxes.py`, `fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py`) are vendored in the source skill at `skills/sources/anthropic/pdf/scripts/`. Command lines that say `scripts/...` refer to that vendored directory.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- For advanced pypdfium2 usage, see the images-ocr and libraries-reference minis.
+- For JavaScript libraries (pdf-lib, pdfjs-dist), see the creation, extraction, merge-split, and libraries-reference minis.
+- If you need to fill out a PDF form, follow the instructions in the forms mini.

+# Creating PDFs
+
+Creating new PDF documents with reportlab (Python) and pdf-lib (JavaScript).
+
+## 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)
+```
+
+### Subscripts and Superscripts
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Never use Unicode subscript/superscript characters (₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉, ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹) in ReportLab PDFs. The built-in fonts do not include these glyphs, causing them to render as solid black boxes.
+
+Instead, use ReportLab's XML markup tags in Paragraph objects:
+```python
+from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph
+from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
+
+styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
+
+# Subscripts: use <sub> tag
+chemical = Paragraph("H<sub>2</sub>O", styles['Normal'])
+
+# Superscripts: use <super> tag
+squared = Paragraph("x<super>2</super> + y<super>2</super>", styles['Normal'])
+```
+
+For canvas-drawn text (not Paragraph objects), manually adjust font the size and position rather than using Unicode subscripts/superscripts.
+
+### 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'),

+    ('BACKGROUND', (0, 1), (-1, -1), colors.beige),
+    ('GRID', (0, 0), (-1, -1), 1, colors.black)
+]))
+elements.append(table)

+## 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")
+```
+
+## pdfjs-dist (Apache License) - Rendering
+
+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);
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Image Conversion (poppler-utils)
+```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 (poppler-utils)
+```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
+```
+
+## 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

+# Filling PDF Forms
+
+Filling both fillable (AcroForm) and non-fillable (flat/scanned) PDF forms.
+
+> **Vendored scripts:** every `python scripts/...` command below refers to the helper scripts vendored in the source skill at `skills/sources/anthropic/pdf/scripts/` (`check_fillable_fields.py`, `extract_form_field_info.py`, `convert_pdf_to_images.py`, `fill_fillable_fields.py`, `extract_form_structure.py`, `check_bounding_boxes.py`, `fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py`). "This file's directory" means the source skill directory.
+
+**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 add text annotations. First try to extract coordinates from the PDF structure (more accurate), then fall back to visual estimation if needed.
+
+## Step 1: Try Structure Extraction First
+
+Run this script to extract text labels, lines, and checkboxes with their exact PDF coordinates:
+`python scripts/extract_form_structure.py <input.pdf> form_structure.json`
+
+This creates a JSON file containing:
+- **labels**: Every text element with exact coordinates (x0, top, x1, bottom in PDF points)
+- **lines**: Horizontal lines that define row boundaries
+- **checkboxes**: Small square rectangles that are checkboxes (with center coordinates)
+- **row_boundaries**: Row top/bottom positions calculated from horizontal lines
+
+**Check the results**: If `form_structure.json` has meaningful labels (text elements that correspond to form fields), use **Approach A: Structure-Based Coordinates**. If the PDF is scanned/image-based and has few or no labels, use **Approach B: Visual Estimation**.
+
+---
+
+## Approach A: Structure-Based Coordinates (Preferred)
+
+Use this when `extract_form_structure.py` found text labels in the PDF.
+
+### A.1: Analyze the Structure
+
+Read form_structure.json and identify:
+
+1. **Label groups**: Adjacent text elements that form a single label (e.g., "Last" + "Name")
+2. **Row structure**: Labels with similar `top` values are in the same row
+3. **Field columns**: Entry areas start after label ends (x0 = label.x1 + gap)
+4. **Checkboxes**: Use the checkbox coordinates directly from the structure
+
+**Coordinate system**: PDF coordinates where y=0 is at TOP of page, y increases downward.
+
+### A.2: Check for Missing Elements
+
+The structure extraction may not detect all form elements. Common cases:
+- **Circular checkboxes**: Only square rectangles are detected as checkboxes
+- **Complex graphics**: Decorative elements or non-standard form controls
+- **Faded or light-colored elements**: May not be extracted
+
+If you see form fields in the PDF images that aren't in form_structure.json, you'll need to use **visual analysis** for those specific fields (see "Hybrid Approach" below).
+
+### A.3: Create fields.json with PDF Coordinates
+
+For each field, calculate entry coordinates from the extracted structure:
+
+**Text fields:**
+- entry x0 = label x1 + 5 (small gap after label)
+- entry x1 = next label's x0, or row boundary
+- entry top = same as label top
+- entry bottom = row boundary line below, or label bottom + row_height
+
+**Checkboxes:**
+- Use the checkbox rectangle coordinates directly from form_structure.json
+- entry_bounding_box = [checkbox.x0, checkbox.top, checkbox.x1, checkbox.bottom]
+
+Create fields.json using `pdf_width` and `pdf_height` (signals PDF coordinates):
+```json
+{
+  "pages": [
+    {"page_number": 1, "pdf_width": 612, "pdf_height": 792}
+  ],
+  "form_fields": [
+    {
+      "page_number": 1,
+      "description": "Last name entry field",
+      "field_label": "Last Name",
+      "label_bounding_box": [43, 63, 87, 73],
+      "entry_bounding_box": [92, 63, 260, 79],
+      "entry_text": {"text": "Smith", "font_size": 10}
+    },
+    {
+      "page_number": 1,
+      "description": "US Citizen Yes checkbox",
+      "field_label": "Yes",
+      "label_bounding_box": [260, 200, 280, 210],
+      "entry_bounding_box": [285, 197, 292, 205],
+      "entry_text": {"text": "X"}
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Important**: Use `pdf_width`/`pdf_height` and coordinates directly from form_structure.json.
+
+### A.4: Validate Bounding Boxes
+
+Before filling, check your bounding boxes for errors:
+`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py fields.json`
+
+This checks for intersecting bounding boxes and entry boxes that are too small for the font size. Fix any reported errors before filling.
+
+---
+
+## Approach B: Visual Estimation (Fallback)
+
+Use this when the PDF is scanned/image-based and structure extraction found no usable text labels (e.g., all text shows as "(cid:X)" patterns).
+
+### B.1: Convert PDF to Images
+
+`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <input.pdf> <images_dir/>`
+
+### B.2: Initial Field Identification
+
+Examine each page image to identify form sections and get **rough estimates** of field locations:
+- Form field labels and their approximate positions
+- Entry areas (lines, boxes, or blank spaces for text input)
+- Checkboxes and their approximate locations
+
+For each field, note approximate pixel coordinates (they don't need to be precise yet).
+
+### B.3: Zoom Refinement (CRITICAL for accuracy)
+
+For each field, crop a region around the estimated position to refine coordinates precisely.
+
+**Create a zoomed crop using ImageMagick:**
+```bash
+magick <page_image> -crop <width>x<height>+<x>+<y> +repage <crop_output.png>
+```
+
+Where:
+- `<x>, <y>` = top-left corner of crop region (use your rough estimate minus padding)
+- `<width>, <height>` = size of crop region (field area plus ~50px padding on each side)
+
+**Example:** To refine a "Name" field estimated around (100, 150):
+```bash
+magick images_dir/page_1.png -crop 300x80+50+120 +repage crops/name_field.png
+```
+
+(Note: if the `magick` command isn't available, try `convert` with the same arguments).
+
+**Examine the cropped image** to determine precise coordinates:
+1. Identify the exact pixel where the entry area begins (after the label)
+2. Identify where the entry area ends (before next field or edge)
+3. Identify the top and bottom of the entry line/box
+
+**Convert crop coordinates back to full image coordinates:**
+- full_x = crop_x + crop_offset_x
+- full_y = crop_y + crop_offset_y
+
+Example: If the crop started at (50, 120) and the entry box starts at (52, 18) within the crop:
+- entry_x0 = 52 + 50 = 102
+- entry_top = 18 + 120 = 138
+
+**Repeat for each field**, grouping nearby fields into single crops when possible.
+
+### B.4: Create fields.json with Refined Coordinates
+
+Create fields.json using `image_width` and `image_height` (signals image coordinates):
+```json
+{
+  "pages": [
+    {"page_number": 1, "image_width": 1700, "image_height": 2200}
+  ],
+  "form_fields": [
+    {
+      "page_number": 1,
+      "description": "Last name entry field",
+      "field_label": "Last Name",
+      "label_bounding_box": [120, 175, 242, 198],
+      "entry_bounding_box": [255, 175, 720, 218],
+      "entry_text": {"text": "Smith", "font_size": 10}
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Important**: Use `image_width`/`image_height` and the refined pixel coordinates from the zoom analysis.
+
+### B.5: Validate Bounding Boxes
+
+Before filling, check your bounding boxes for errors:
+`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py fields.json`
+
+This checks for intersecting bounding boxes and entry boxes that are too small for the font size. Fix any reported errors before filling.
+
+---
+
+## Hybrid Approach: Structure + Visual
+
+Use this when structure extraction works for most fields but misses some elements (e.g., circular checkboxes, unusual form controls).
+
+1. **Use Approach A** for fields that were detected in form_structure.json
+2. **Convert PDF to images** for visual analysis of missing fields
+3. **Use zoom refinement** (from Approach B) for the missing fields
+4. **Combine coordinates**: For fields from structure extraction, use `pdf_width`/`pdf_height`. For visually-estimated fields, you must convert image coordinates to PDF coordinates:
+   - pdf_x = image_x * (pdf_width / image_width)
+   - pdf_y = image_y * (pdf_height / image_height)
+5. **Use a single coordinate system** in fields.json - convert all to PDF coordinates with `pdf_width`/`pdf_height`
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Validate Before Filling
+
+**Always validate bounding boxes before filling:**
+`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py fields.json`
+
+This checks for:
+- Intersecting bounding boxes (which would cause overlapping text)
+- Entry boxes that are too small for the specified font size
+
+Fix any reported errors in fields.json before proceeding.
+
+## Step 3: Fill the Form
+
+The fill script auto-detects the coordinate system and handles conversion:
+`python scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py <input.pdf> fields.json <output.pdf>`
+
+## Step 4: Verify Output
+
+Convert the filled PDF to images and verify text placement:
+`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <output.pdf> <verify_images/>`
+
+If text is mispositioned:
+- **Approach A**: Check that you're using PDF coordinates from form_structure.json with `pdf_width`/`pdf_height`
+- **Approach B**: Check that image dimensions match and coordinates are accurate pixels
+- **Hybrid**: Ensure coordinate conversions are correct for visually-estimated fields

+# Library Guidance, Performance, Troubleshooting, and Licenses
+
+Cross-cutting reference: performance optimization, troubleshooting recipes, and per-library license information. For library-specific code, see the creation, extraction, merge-split, and images-ocr minis.
+
+## 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
