When to use this skill

✅ Use when:

• - You have multiple PDFs that need the same operation
• You want to keep processing local (private, no uploads needed)
• You need to automate PDF processing in a workflow

❌ Don't use when:

• - You only need to edit one page manually (use a GUI PDF editor)
• The PDF is encrypted/scanned image-only (needs OCR first)
• You need advanced editing (add/remove content, edit text)

Notes

• - Works with standard PDF files
• For scanned/image PDFs you need OCR first (use an OCR tool before processing)
• All processing is local - your files never leave your machine
