# PDFExtract Pull Text from PDFs
Extract clean readable text from PDF files into agent-ready markdown. Multi-page, tables, headers. No external services.
---
Every agent needs to read PDFs. This does it cleanly.
## Usage
```javascript
const { PDFExtract } = require('./src/pdf-extract');
const pdf = new PDFExtract();
const text = await pdf.extract('document.pdf');
console.log(text);
const structured = await pdf.extractStructured('document.pdf');
console.log(structured.pages); // Array of page texts
console.log(structured.metadata); // Title, author, page count
console.log(structured.headings); // Detected headings
```
## Features
