Unredact
A simple tool for reading in poorly redacted documents
Unredact is a specialized tool that attempts to reconstruct redacted or obscured text in images, PDFs, or screenshots using a combination of image processing and generative AI inference to suggest plausible completions of blurred, black-boxed, or jumbled content. Unlike traditional optical character recognition (OCR), which only reads visible text, Unredact focuses on inferring missing content where redaction has been applied by analyzing surrounding context, font characteristics, and linguistic patterns to produce candidate reconstructions. It accepts a variety of input formats, automatically identifies redacted regions, and then generates text suggestions that are presented alongside visual overlays so users can choose or refine outputs. -

book-to-skill
Turn any technical book PDF into a Claude Code skill
book-to-skill is a Claude Code skill that turns technical books and documents into reusable AI reference skills. It extracts content from PDFs and EPUBs, then organizes the material so an assistant can study, reference, and apply it while working. The project is useful for transforming dense manuals, textbooks, internal documentation, or technical guides into practical agent-accessible knowledge. It includes an extraction script and a SKILL.md workflow that guides how the resulting content should be used. The goal is not simply to summarize a book, but to make its knowledge available during problem solving and implementation. book-to-skill is best suited for developers and researchers who want AI assistants to work from specific long-form source material. -

PDFCraft
PDFCraft is a free, privacy-focused PDF toolkit
PDFCraft is an extensible toolkit for creating, editing, and transforming PDF documents with both a graphical interface and a scripting API, making it useful for users ranging from casual editors to automated document processors. At its core, the project provides a clean, modern UI where you can rearrange pages, annotate text, insert images, fill forms, and export to multiple formats, all without needing a heavyweight commercial PDF suite. But beyond manual editing, it also offers a programmable layer so developers can write scripts to batch process documents, generate templated reports, or extract structured data from PDFs for integration in workflows. The design emphasizes quality and compatibility: output PDFs render accurately across readers, preserve metadata, and support interactive elements like hyperlinks and form fields. -

pdf-bot
A Node queue API for generating PDFs using headless Chrome
pdf-bot is a Node.js microservice designed to automate the generation of PDF documents from web pages using headless Chrome. The project provides a queue-based API that allows developers to submit URLs for PDF generation, which are then processed asynchronously by the service. Once a document is generated, the system can notify external applications through webhooks, enabling integration with other backend systems or automation pipelines. The service is particularly useful for generating documents such as invoices, reports, and archived web content in a reliable and scalable way. PDF Bot also supports integration with cloud storage services like Amazon S3, allowing generated files to be stored and distributed automatically. The architecture separates the PDF rendering engine from application logic, making it easy to deploy as a standalone service within larger systems.
