PDF Processing Guide

Overview

This guide covers essential PDF processing operations using Python libraries and command-line tools. For advanced features, JavaScript libraries, and detailed examples, see reference.md. If you need to fill out a PDF form, read forms.md and follow its instructions.

Core Constraints (Must Follow)

1. Output Language

Generated PDF must use the same language as user's query.

• Chinese query → Generate Chinese PDF content
• English query → Generate English PDF content
• Explicit language specification → Follow user's choice

2. Page Count Control

• Follow user's page specifications strictly

User Input	Execution Rule
Explicit count (e.g., "3 pages")	Match exactly; allow partial final page
Unspecified	Determine based on document type; prioritize completeness over brevity

Avoid these mistakes:

• Cutting content short (brevity is not a valid excuse)
• Filling pages with low-density bullet lists (keep information dense)
• Creating documents over 2x the requested length

Resume/CV exception:

• Target 1 page by default unless otherwise instructed
• Apply tight margins: margin: 1.5cm

3. Structure Compliance (Mandatory)

User supplies outline:

• Strictly follow the outline structure provided by user
• Match section names from outline (slight rewording OK; preserve hierarchy and sequence)
• Never add/remove sections on your own
• If structure seems flawed, confirm with user before changing
