# PDF Smart Extractor
**Extract and analyze large PDFs with minimal token usage**
---
## 🚨 AUTO-TRIGGER RULES (Read This First!)
**MANDATORY: You MUST use this skill when:**
1. **File Size Check:** User provides a `.pdf` file path
- Run: `ls -lh <file_path>` or `stat -f%z <file_path>` (macOS) / `stat -c%s <file_path>` (Linux)
- If size >1MB (1048576 bytes) → **AUTOMATICALLY suggest this plugin**
- Do NOT attempt to read large PDFs directly
2. **Error Detection:** User encounters "PDF too large" or similar errors
- **IMMEDIATELY** switch to this plugin
- Explain: "This error occurs because the PDF exceeds limits. I'll use PDF Smart Extractor to solve this."
3. **Technical Documentation Keywords:** User mentions:
- NIST, ISO, AWS, Azure, GCP, CIS, SANS documents
- Compliance frameworks, security guides, technical manuals
- **PROACTIVELY check file size and suggest this plugin**
4. **Token Efficiency:** User asks to analyze multi-page PDFs (>50 pages)
- Suggest this plugin to save 90%+ tokens
**Example Auto-Trigger:**
```
User: "Can you analyze /docs/NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1.pdf?"
You: [First, check file size]
$ ls -lh /docs/NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 3.3M Oct 20 10:30 /docs/NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1.pdf
[Detect: 3.3MB > 1MB → Auto-trigger plugin]
"I notice this PDF is 3.3 MB. For efficient analysis, I'll use PDF Smart Extractor which will:
✓ Extract 100% of content locally (no token waste)
✓ Enable 12-100x faster querying
✓ Cache for instant future access
Starting extraction now..."
```

## When to Use This Skill
**IMPORTANT: This skill should be automatically suggested when:**
- User provides a PDF file path and the file is >1MB
- User mentions "PDF too large" or "can't read PDF"
- User tries to analyze technical documentation (NIST, ISO, AWS, Azure, GCP guides)
- User mentions token limits or context window issues with PDFs
- User wants to extract or analyze multi-page PDFs (>50 pages)
Use this skill when users need to:
- Extract content from large PDF documents (>1MB, >50 pages)
- Analyze PDFs that exceed LLM context windows
- Query specific sections of technical documents (NIST, ISO, AWS guides, etc.)
- Preserve 100% of PDF content while minimizing token consumption
- Build knowledge bases from PDF documentation
- Search PDFs for specific topics or keywords
- Overcome "PDF too large" errors
**Trigger phrases (explicit):**
- "extract this PDF"
- "analyze [PDF file]"
- "search [PDF] for [topic]"
- "what does [PDF] say about [topic]"
- "chunk this large PDF"
- "process NIST document"
- "read this PDF: /path/to/file.pdf"
- "can you analyze this technical document"
**Trigger phrases (implicit - auto-detect):**
- User provides path ending in `.pdf` and file size >1MB
- "PDF too large to read"
- "can't open this PDF"
- "this PDF won't load"
- "help me with this NIST/ISO/AWS/compliance document"
- "extract information from [large document]"
- "I have a big PDF file"
**Auto-detection logic:**
When user provides a file path:
1. Check if file extension is `.pdf`
2. Check file size using `ls -lh` or `stat`
3. If size >1MB, proactively suggest: "This PDF is X MB. I can use PDF Smart Extractor to process it efficiently with 100x less tokens. Would you like me to extract and chunk it?"
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Local PDF Extraction (Zero LLM Involvement)
- Extracts 100% of PDF content using PyMuPDF
- No LLM calls during extraction - fully local processing
- Preserves metadata, table of contents, and document structure
- Caches extracted content for instant reuse
### 2. Semantic Chunking
- Splits text at intelligent boundaries (chapters, sections, paragraphs)
- Preserves context and meaning across chunks
- Target chunk size: ~2000 tokens (configurable)
- 100% content preservation guaranteed
### 3. Efficient Querying
- Search chunks by keywords or topics
- Load only relevant chunks (12-25x token reduction)
- Ranked results by relevance
- Combine multiple chunks as needed
### 4. Persistent Caching
- One-time extraction per PDF
- Instant access to cached content
- File hash verification for integrity
- Automatic cache management
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: Cache Location**
Extracted content is stored in a **user cache directory**, NOT the working directory:
**Cache locations by platform:**
- **Linux/Mac:** `~/.claude-cache/pdf/{pdf_name}_{hash}/`
- **Windows:** `C:\Users\{username}\.claude-pdf-cache\{pdf_name}_{hash}\`
**Why cache directory?**
1. **Persistent caching:** Extract once, query forever - even across different projects
2. **Cross-project reuse:** Same PDF analyzed from different projects uses the same cache
3. **Performance:** Subsequent queries are instant (no re-extraction needed)
4. **Token optimization:** 12-115x reduction by loading only relevant chunks
**Cache contents:**
- `full_text.txt` - Complete extracted text
- `pages.json` - Page-by-page content
- `metadata.json` - PDF metadata
- `toc.json` - Table of contents
- `manifest.json` - Cache manifest
**Accessing cached content:**
```bash
# List all cached PDFs
python scripts/query_pdf.py list
# Query cached content
python scripts/query_pdf.py search {cache_key} "your query"
# Find cache location (shown in extraction output)
# Example: ~/.claude-cache/pdf/document_a1b2c3d4/
```
**If you need files in working directory:**
```bash
# Option 1: Use --output-dir flag during extraction
python scripts/extract_pdf.py document.pdf --output-dir ./extracted
# Option 2: Copy from cache manually
cp -r ~/.claude-cache/pdf/{cache_key}/* ./extracted_content/
```
**Note:** Cache is local and not meant for version control. Keep original PDFs in your repo and let each developer extract locally (one-time operation).
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Extract PDF (One-Time Setup)
```bash
# Extract to cache (default)
python scripts/extract_pdf.py /path/to/document.pdf
# Extract and copy to working directory (interactive prompt)
python scripts/extract_pdf.py /path/to/document.pdf
# Will prompt: "Copy files? (y/n)"
# Will ask: "Keep cache? (y/n)"
# Extract and copy to specific directory (no prompts)
python scripts/extract_pdf.py /path/to/document.pdf --output-dir ./extracted
```
**What happens:**
- Reads entire PDF locally
- Extracts text, metadata, table of contents
- Saves to `~/.claude-pdf-cache/{cache_key}/`
- Returns cache key for future queries
**Output:**
- `full_text.txt` - Complete document text
- `pages.json` - Structured page data
- `metadata.json` - PDF metadata
- `toc.json` - Table of contents (if available)
- `manifest.json` - Extraction statistics
### Phase 2: Chunk Content (Semantic Organization)
```python
python scripts/semantic_chunker.py {cache_key}
```
**What happens:**
- Detects semantic boundaries (chapters, sections, paragraphs)
- Splits text at intelligent boundaries
- Creates ~2000 token chunks
- Preserves 100% of content
**Output:**
- `chunks.json` - Chunk index with metadata
- `chunks/chunk_0000.txt` - Individual chunk files
- Statistics: total chunks, token distribution, preservation rate
### Phase 3: Query Content (Efficient Retrieval)
```python
python scripts/query_pdf.py search {cache_key} "supply chain security"
```
**What happens:**
- Searches chunk index for relevant content
- Ranks results by relevance
- Returns only matching chunks
- Displays token counts for transparency
**Output:**
- List of matching chunks with previews
- Relevance scores
- Total tokens required (vs. full document)
## Usage Examples
### Example 1: Large NIST Document
**User Request:** "Extract and analyze NIST SP 800-161r1 for supply chain incident response procedures"
**Your Workflow:**
1. **Extract PDF (one-time):**
```bash
python scripts/extract_pdf.py /path/to/NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1.pdf
```
Output: `Cache key: NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1_a1b2c3d4e5f6`
2. **Chunk content:**
```bash
python scripts/semantic_chunker.py NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1_a1b2c3d4e5f6
```
Output: Created 87 chunks, 98.7% content preservation
3. **Search for relevant sections:**
```bash
python scripts/query_pdf.py search NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1_a1b2c3d4e5f6 "supply chain incident response"
```
Output:
- Chunk 23 - "Supply Chain Risk Management" (relevance: 87%, 1,850 tokens)
- Chunk 45 - "Incident Response in C-SCRM" (relevance: 72%, 2,010 tokens)
- Total: 3,860 tokens (vs. 48,000 for full document = 12.4x reduction)
4. **Retrieve specific chunks:**
```bash
python scripts/query_pdf.py get NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1_a1b2c3d4e5f6 23
```
Output: Full content of chunk 23
5. **Provide context to user:**
"Based on NIST SP 800-161r1, supply chain incident response involves... [use chunk content]"
### Example 2: Multiple Related Queries
**User Request:** "I need to understand OT security incidents from NIST SP 800-82r3"
**Your Workflow:**
1. **Extract (one-time):**
```bash
python scripts/extract_pdf.py /path/to/NIST.SP.800-82r3.pdf
```
2. **Chunk:**
```bash
python scripts/semantic_chunker.py NIST.SP.800-82r3_x7y8z9
```
3. **First query - Overview:**
```bash
python scripts/query_pdf.py search NIST.SP.800-82r3_x7y8z9 "OT security overview"
```
4. **Second query - Incidents:**
```bash
python scripts/query_pdf.py search NIST.SP.800-82r3_x7y8z9 "incident response ICS"
```
5. **Third query - Specific threat:**
```bash
python scripts/query_pdf.py search NIST.SP.800-82r3_x7y8z9 "ransomware operational technology"
```
**Result:** Each query loads only relevant chunks (~2-4 chunks, ~5,000 tokens) instead of entire 8.2MB document (120,000+ tokens)
### Example 3: Table of Contents Navigation
**User Request:** "Show me the structure of this AWS security guide"
**Your Workflow:**
1. **Extract PDF:**
```bash
python scripts/extract_pdf.py aws-security-guide.pdf
```
2. **Get TOC:**
```bash
python scripts/query_pdf.py toc aws-security-guide_abc123
```
Output:
```
Chapter 1: Introduction (page 1)
1.1 Security Fundamentals (page 3)
1.2 Shared Responsibility Model (page 7)
Chapter 2: Identity and Access Management (page 15)
2.1 IAM Best Practices (page 17)
...
```
3. **Navigate to specific section:**
Based on TOC, identify relevant chunk IDs and retrieve specific content.
## Important Guidelines
### Content Preservation
- **ALWAYS preserve 100% of PDF content** - no summarization during extraction
- Verify preservation rate in chunking statistics (should be >99.5%)
- If preservation rate is low, investigate boundary detection issues
### Token Efficiency
- **Target 12-25x token reduction** compared to loading full PDF
- Search before loading - don't load chunks blindly
- Combine related chunks when context requires it
- Show token counts to user for transparency
### Cache Management
- Cache key format: `{pdf_name}_{hash}`
- Cache location: `~/.claude-pdf-cache/`
- Reuse cached extractions - don't re-extract unnecessarily
- Use `--force` flag only when PDF has been modified
### Error Handling
- If extraction fails, check PDF encryption status
- If chunking produces few chunks, document may lack structure
- If search returns no results, try broader keywords
- If preservation rate < 99%, review boundary detection

## Success Criteria
A successful PDF extraction and query session should:
1. **Preserve 100% of content** (preservation rate >99.5%)
2. **Achieve 12-25x token reduction** for typical queries
3. **Complete extraction** in <2 minutes for documents <10MB
4. **Return relevant results** with clear relevance scoring
5. **Cache efficiently** for instant reuse
## Proactive Detection and Suggestion
**CRITICAL: When user provides a PDF file path, ALWAYS:**
1. **Check file size first:**
```bash
ls -lh /path/to/file.pdf
# or
stat -f%z /path/to/file.pdf # macOS
stat -c%s /path/to/file.pdf # Linux
```
2. **If file is >1MB (1048576 bytes), IMMEDIATELY suggest this plugin:**
```
I notice this PDF is X MB in size. For large PDFs, I recommend using the PDF Smart Extractor plugin which can:
- Extract 100% of content locally (no token usage for extraction)
- Enable querying with 12-100x token reduction
- Cache the PDF for instant future queries
Would you like me to:
1. Extract and chunk this PDF for efficient analysis? (recommended)
2. Try reading it directly (may hit token limits)?
```
3. **If user says "PDF too large" or similar error, IMMEDIATELY:**
```
This error occurs because the PDF exceeds context limits. Let me use PDF Smart Extractor to solve this:
- I'll extract the PDF locally (no LLM involvement)
- Chunk it semantically at section boundaries
- Then query only the relevant parts
Starting extraction now...
```
## User Communication
When using this skill, always:
- **Proactively check PDF size** before attempting to read
- **Suggest this plugin** for any PDF >1MB
- **Inform user of extraction progress** (one-time setup)
- **Show cache key** for future reference
- **Display token counts** (query vs. full document)
- **Explain token savings** achieved
- **Verify content preservation** rate
**Example communication:**
```
I'll extract and analyze NIST SP 800-161r1 for you.
Step 1: Extracting PDF (one-time setup)...
✓ Extracted 155 pages (48,000 tokens)
✓ Cache key: NIST.SP.800-161r1-upd1_a1b2c3d4
Step 2: Semantic chunking...
✓ Created 87 chunks (99.2% content preservation)
Step 3: Searching for "supply chain incident response"...
✓ Found 3 relevant chunks (3,860 tokens vs. 48,000 full document = 12.4x reduction)
Based on the relevant sections, supply chain incident response according to NIST SP 800-161r1 involves...
[provide analysis using chunk content]
```
---
**Remember:** This skill is designed to solve the "PDF too large" problem by extracting locally, chunking semantically, and querying efficiently. Always preserve 100% of content while minimizing token usage.
