pdf-to-text
Extract layout-preserving plain text from a PDF — best for TABLES, INVOICES, columnar/financial PDFs where cell values and alignment must survive. Parse each PDF ONCE to a file. To find a specific fact, prefer a bounded grep -n -i -C2 "term" file | head. Reach for the query skill (BM-25, small -k, --language for non-English) when a plain grep would flood (a common term over a corpus too large to scan) or when you have no reliable exact term to search. Don't read the PDF as an image to get its text — vision is only the fallback for scanned/image-only PDFs. Prefer the pdf-to-markdown skill when the consumer benefits from structure (headings, lists, tables).
