Common questions

Can AI extract text from scanned PDFs?
Yes, many skills use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract text from scanned images. Look for skills that mention OCR support or image processing capabilities.
How do I extract tables from a PDF?
Skills with table extraction can identify and convert tabular data into CSV or JSON. Check the skill description for supported output formats and whether it handles merged cells or multi-line rows.
What if my PDF has a mix of text and images?
Most extraction skills handle mixed content by processing text layers first and falling back to OCR for images. Ensure the skill you choose explicitly supports both text and image extraction.
