Most recent maintenance signal among this shortlist.

Signal	pdf-tools Operate on an EXISTING PDF — split, merge, extract/delete pages, rotate, search for text across pages, or pull images. Use when the user wants to "split this PDF", "merge these PDFs", "grab pages 3-7", "find where it mentions X", "rotate", or OCR a scanned PDF. NOT for creating a styled PDF (that's make-pdf) or just reading one (that's read_file/summarize_file).	PaddleOCR Turn any PDF or image document into structured data for your AI. A powerful, lightweight OCR toolkit that bridges the gap between images/PDFs and LLMs. Supports 100+ languages.
