PDF Batch Master: All-in-One Conversion

Problem

Batch PDF work is often fragmented across conversion, merge/split, compression/watermarking, extraction, and form filling. With many files, manually checking paths, parameters, and outputs creates missed items, inconsistent naming, and late failure detection. PDF Batch Master: All-in-One Conversion targets these office workflows by consolidating common PDF operations behind one entry point, reducing tool switching and manual glue work.

How it works

The skill accepts tasks through process_pdf(task_type, input_files, output_dir, options), detects the task type and batch mode, then routes the job to the appropriate engine. Key capabilities include:
- Batch operations: bulk conversion, merging, splitting, watermarking, compression, encryption/decryption, and content extraction
- Single-file operations: text extraction, table extraction, form filling, page rotation, PDF generation, and quality checks
- Result handling: batch outputs are packaged, single files are returned directly, and failures produce user-friendly messages

It emphasizes local execution and zero API dependency, which is useful when a repetitive PDF pipeline should run as a script instead of bouncing between web tools.

Boundaries

The detailed function list and parameters live in references/, so task_type, input files, output directory, and options should be validated before execution. For sensitive files, very large files, or layout-sensitive work, keep manual spot checks; scanned, unreadable-encrypted, or font-deficient PDFs may require fallback handling for text and table extraction.
