# Extract structured markdown, JSON, and tagged-PDF-ready outputs from PDFs with OpenDataLoader PDF

Convert PDFs into LLM-ready markdown or coordinate-aware JSON, and use the same pipeline for tagged-PDF accessibility workflows when that is the real job to be done.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.10+, Java 11+, PDF inputs, optional hybrid-mode backend setup for complex pages or OCR-heavy jobs

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install the package from the documented pip path, confirm Java 11+ is available, then run the convert workflow against one or more PDFs to emit markdown, JSON, HTML, or the documented accessibility-oriented outputs.
```
