PDF Processing Pro

A production-grade PDF toolkit for the heavy, repetitive document work — reading and filling forms, pulling tables and data out of PDFs, running OCR on scanned files, and batch-processing whole folders — with validation and error reporting so it’s reliable at volume.

How to use it
It uses battle-tested scripts (built on pdfplumber/pypdf with Tesseract OCR) for four workflows: forms (detect every field, validate the data, then fill — including checkboxes and multi-page forms), tables (auto-detect columns and export to CSV/Excel, even multi-page or merged-cell tables), OCR (turn scanned or photographed PDFs into searchable text with confidence scoring), and batch (run any of the above across hundreds of files at once). Every step validates inputs first, keeps originals, logs what it did, and flags anything it couldn’t read cleanly for your review.
How to invoke / keep it on
Say “process these PDFs” and describe the job — “fill this form,” “pull the tables into a spreadsheet,” “OCR these scans,” or “do this across the whole folder.” For recurring document work, ask it to set up a reusable folder + field-mapping you run each time.

01"Pull the line-item tables out of these wholesale line-sheet PDFs and export them to one Excel file with SKU, description, wholesale price, and MSRP as columns."
02"Read this retailer’s vendor-setup form, show me every field it found, then fill it from our company info and flag anything it’s unsure about before saving."
03"OCR this stack of scanned, signed retailer contracts so I can search them, and extract the key terms — start date, payment terms, and termination clause — into a summary."
04"Bulk-fill this new-account credit application for our 12 newest NuORDER retailers from a CSV of their details, and give me an error report for any rows that don’t validate."
05"Extract the data from a folder of 80 supplier invoice PDFs into a single CSV — vendor, invoice number, date, total — and tell me which scans were too low-quality to read."
06"Take these PO PDFs from a wholesale buyer and pull the ordered SKUs and quantities into a spreadsheet I can check against inventory in ApparelMagic."
07"Merge our cover letter, line sheet, and terms into one polished wholesale packet PDF per retailer, and batch it across all the retailers in this folder."
08"Split this 200-page combined-orders PDF into one file per order, name each by the PO number on the page, and put them in an Orders folder."
09"Run OCR on these photographed receipts from the trade show, extract vendor and amount, and hand the results to the invoice workflow to file and total."
10"Read this fillable W-9 a new vendor sent and pull their legal name, EIN, and address into our records, flagging any field that was left blank."
11"Batch-extract the size-and-quantity tables from every PO PDF in this folder and combine them into one demand spreadsheet by SKU."
12"Validate this folder of submitted retailer forms — check every required field is filled and correctly formatted, and give me a list of which submissions are incomplete."
13"OCR our older scanned wholesale agreements that aren’t searchable, make them text-searchable, and build an index of which retailer and date each one covers."
14"Take a CSV of this season’s product data and mail-merge it into our standard line-sheet PDF template, generating one filled catalog page per style."
15"Pull the financial tables out of this multi-page PDF statement into Excel, preserving the columns, so I can reconcile it against QuickBooks."
16"Process a folder of signed brand-ambassador agreements: confirm each has a signature, extract the commission rate and term, and summarize them in one table."
17"Fill out these repetitive shipping/customs forms for an international wholesale order from our shipment details, and validate the data before generating the PDFs."
18"Extract every product image and the spec table from this supplier catalog PDF so we can reuse the specs in our own listings."
