What this skill does

It uses different tools for PDFs, Office documents, EPUB, RTF, and OpenDocument files. Scanned files may need OCR, encrypted files need a password, and complex layouts may be lost during conversion. Document text and metadata may be sensitive; process only files the user is authorized to provide and review extracted content before sharing it beyond the intended context.

## Workflow

1. **Identify format** — Check file extension
2. **Extract text** — Use appropriate tool
3. **Get metadata** — Author, date, pages, etc.
4. **Process content** — Summarize, search, transform

## Notes

- PDFs with scanned images need OCR (pdftoppm + tesseract)
- Encrypted PDFs require password
- Complex formatting may be lost in text extraction
- For tables in PDFs, consider tabula or camelot
