PDF Processing Pro

Production-ready PDF processing toolkit with pre-built scripts, comprehensive error handling, and support for complex workflows.

Quick start

Extract text from PDF

import pdfplumber

with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    text = pdf.pages[0].extract_text()
    print(text)

Analyse PDF form (using included script)

python scripts/analyze_form.py input.pdf --output fields.json
# Returns: JSON with all form fields, types, and positions

Fill PDF form with validation

python scripts/fill_form.py input.pdf data.json output.pdf
# Validates all fields before filling, includes error reporting

Extract tables from PDF

python scripts/extract_tables.py report.pdf --output tables.csv
# Extracts all tables with automatic column detection

Features

Production-ready scripts

  • Error handling with detailed messages and proper exit codes
  • Input validation, type checking, and configurable logging
  • Full type annotations and CLI interface (--help on all scripts)

Comprehensive workflows

  • PDF forms, table extraction, OCR processing
  • Batch operations, pre/post-processing validation

Advanced topics

PDF form processing

Complete form workflows including field analysis, dynamic filling, validation rules, multi-page forms, and checkbox/radio handling. See references/forms.md.

Table extraction

Complex table extraction including multi-page tables, merged cells, nested tables, custom detection, and CSV/Excel export. See references/tables.md.
