# PDF Processing

Procedural knowledge for common PDF tasks.

## Extract text

Use `scripts/extract.py` to pull the text layer from a PDF:

```bash
python scripts/extract.py input.pdf
```

## Fill forms

Map field names to values and write a filled copy. See `references/forms.md`
for the field-mapping conventions.

## Merge

Concatenate several PDFs in order, preserving bookmarks where possible.
