# PDF extract
1. Confirm the file path and the desired output (text, tables, filled form, merge).
2. Prefer `scripts/extract.py` over ad-hoc one-liners.
3. For form field maps see [FORMS.md](references/FORMS.md).
4. Return the artifact path and a one-line summary of pages processed.
Do not load every page into context. Stream through the script and keep only the rows you need.
```python
python scripts/extract.py input.pdf --tables
```
## Safety
Never upload the PDF to a third-party API. Confirm page count before writing.
