Distills technical books, doc folders or paper collections (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, Markdown and more) into an agent skill with a core framework, on-demand chapter files, glossary and cheat sheet for lookup while working. Extraction needs local Python; poppler or docling optional for PDFs.

Reads the exact position of every character, line and table cell in digital PDFs: the CLI exports layout-preserving text or CSV/JSON details, and the Python API extracts tables and form fields, ideal for invoices, statements and reports. Runs locally with Python; scans need OCR first.

Rendering engine that lays out HTML and CSS and exports PDF, supporting paged media and other print style standards, ideal for generating reports, invoices and receipts in bulk. Written in Python; depends on the system Pango library.

Open-source PDF table extraction with a camelot CLI: exports tables from financial reports, bank statements and statistical reports to Excel, CSV or Markdown, with an accuracy score. Needs Python 3.10+; handles text-based PDFs by default, scans need the ml and ocr extras. Double-check results.

The Docling project's official MCP: converts PDF, Word, PowerPoint and more into structured documents with layout and table detection and OCR for scans, and lets agents build new documents paragraph by paragraph and export Markdown. Local mode needs Python and uv, or use your own Docling Serve.
