ASecurity

Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.

# Guia de Processamento de PDF

## Visão Geral

Este guia aborda operações essenciais de processamento de PDF usando bibliotecas Python e ferramentas de linha de comando. Para recursos avançados, bibliotecas JavaScript e exemplos detalhados, consulte REFERENCE.md. Se você precisar preencher um formulário PDF, leia FORMS.md e siga suas instruções.

## Início Rápido

```python
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter

# Ler um PDF
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
print(f"Pages: {len(reader.pages)}")

# Extrair texto
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
    text += page.extract_text()
```

## Bibliotecas Python

### pypdf - Operações Básicas

#### Mesclar PDFs
```python
from pypdf import PdfWriter, PdfReader

writer = PdfWriter()
for pdf_file in ["doc1.pdf", "doc2.pdf", "doc3.pdf"]:
    reader = PdfReader(pdf_file)
    for page in reader.pages:
        writer.add_page(page)

with open("merged.pdf", "wb") as output:
    writer.write(output)
```

#### Dividir PDF
```python
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
for i, page in enumerate(reader.pages):
    writer = PdfWriter()
    writer.add_page(page)
    with open(f"page_{i+1}.pdf", "wb") as output:
        writer.write(output)
```

#### Extrair Metadados
```python
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
meta = reader.metadata
print(f"Title: {meta.title}")
print(f"Author: {meta.author}")
print(f"Subject: {meta.subject}")
print(f"Creator: {meta.creator}")
```

#### Rotacionar Páginas
```python
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()

page = reader.pages[0]
page.rotate(90)  # Rotaciona 90 graus no sentido horário
writer.add_page(page)

with open("rotated.pdf", "wb") as output:
    writer.write(output)
```

### pdfplumber - Extração de Texto e Tabelas

#### Extrair Texto com Layout
```python
import pdfplumber

with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    for page in pdf.pages:
        text = page.extract_text()
        print(text)
```

#### Extrair Tabelas
```python
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    for i, page in enumerate(pdf.pages):
        tables = page.extract_tables()
        for j, table in enumerate(tables):
            print(f"Table {j+1} on page {i+1}:")
            for row in table:
                print(row)
```

#### Extração Avançada de Tabelas
```python
import pandas as pd

with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    all_tables = []
    for page in pdf.pages:
        tables = page.extract_tables()
        for table in tables:
            if table:  # Verifica se a tabela não está vazia
                df = pd.DataFrame(table[1:], columns=table[0])
                all_tables.append(df)

# Combinar todas as tabelas
if all_tables:
    combined_df = pd.concat(all_tables, ignore_index=True)
    combined_df.to_excel("extracted_tables.xlsx", index=False)
```

### reportlab - Criar PDFs

#### Criação Básica de PDF
```python
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf", pagesize=letter)
width, height = letter

# Adicionar texto
c.drawString(100, height - 100, "Hello World!")
c.drawString(100, height - 120, "This is a PDF created with reportlab")

# Adicionar uma linha
c.line(100, height - 140, 400, height - 140)

# Salvar
c.save()
```

#### Criar PDF com Múltiplas Páginas
```python
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Paragraph, Spacer, PageBreak
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet

doc = SimpleDocTemplate("report.pdf", pagesize=letter)
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
story = []

# Adicionar conteúdo
title = Paragraph("Report Title", styles['Title'])
story.append(title)
story.append(Spacer(1, 12))

body = Paragraph("This is the body of the report. " * 20, styles['Normal'])
story.append(body)
story.append(PageBreak())

# Página 2
story.append(Paragraph("Page 2", styles['Heading1']))
story.append(Paragraph("Content for page 2", styles['Normal']))

# Construir PDF
doc.build(story)
```

#### Subscritos e Sobrescritos

**IMPORTANTE**: Nunca use caracteres Unicode de subscrito/sobrescrito (₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉, ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹) em PDFs ReportLab. As fontes integradas não incluem esses glifos, fazendo com que apareçam como caixas sólidas pretas.

Em vez disso, use as tags de marcação XML do ReportLab em objetos Paragraph:
```python
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet

styles = getSampleStyleSheet()

# Subscritos: use a tag <sub>
chemical = Paragraph("H<sub>2</sub>O", styles['Normal'])

# Sobrescritos: use a tag <super>
squared = Paragraph("x<super>2</super> + y<super>2</super>", styles['Normal'])
```

Para texto desenhado no canvas (não objetos Paragraph), ajuste manualmente o tamanho e a posição da fonte em vez de usar subscritos/sobrescritos Unicode.

## Ferramentas de Linha de Comando

### pdftotext (poppler-utils)
```bash
# Extrair texto
pdftotext input.pdf output.txt

# Extrair texto preservando layout
pdftotext -layout input.pdf output.txt

# Extrair páginas específicas
pdftotext -f 1 -l 5 input.pdf output.txt  # Páginas 1-5
```

### qpdf
```bash
# Mesclar PDFs
qpdf --empty --pages file1.pdf file2.pdf -- merged.pdf

# Dividir páginas
qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-5 -- pages1-5.pdf
qpdf input.pdf --pages . 6-10 -- pages6-10.pdf

# Rotacionar páginas
qpdf input.pdf output.pdf --rotate=+90:1  # Rotaciona página 1 por 90 graus

# Remover senha
qpdf --password=mypassword --decrypt encrypted.pdf decrypted.pdf
```

### pdftk (se disponível)
```bash
# Mesclar
pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf cat output merged.pdf

# Dividir
pdftk input.pdf burst

# Rotacionar
pdftk input.pdf rotate 1east output rotated.pdf
```

## Tarefas Comuns

### Extrair Texto de PDFs Digitalizados
```python
# Requer: pip install pytesseract pdf2image
import pytesseract
from pdf2image import convert_from_path

# Converter PDF em imagens
images = convert_from_path('scanned.pdf')

# OCR em cada página
text = ""
for i, image in enumerate(images):
    text += f"Page {i+1}:\n"
    text += pytesseract.image_to_string(image)
    text += "\n\n"

print(text)
```

### Adicionar Marca d'água
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter

# Criar marca d'água (ou carregar existente)
watermark = PdfReader("watermark.pdf").pages[0]

# Aplicar a todas as páginas
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()

for page in reader.pages:
    page.merge_page(watermark)
    writer.add_page(page)

with open("watermarked.pdf", "wb") as output:
    writer.write(output)
```

### Extrair Imagens
```bash
# Usando pdfimages (poppler-utils)
pdfimages -j input.pdf output_prefix

# Isso extrai todas as imagens como output_prefix-000.jpg, output_prefix-001.jpg, etc.
```

### Proteção por Senha
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter

reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()

for page in reader.pages:
    writer.add_page(page)

# Adicionar senha
writer.encrypt("userpassword", "ownerpassword")

with open("encrypted.pdf", "wb") as output:
    writer.write(output)
```
