# PDF Extract

## Steps

1. Run `scripts/extract.py <file.pdf>` to get raw text and tables as Markdown.
2. Review headings; PDFs often lose structure — restore `##` sections from font-size hints in the output.
3. Return the Markdown to the user. For very long documents, summarize per section first and ask before dumping everything.

## Notes

- Scanned PDFs have no text layer; tell the user OCR is required rather than returning empty output.
- Never send the document contents to any external service.
