R

R bindings for extracting content from PDFs: `pdf_text()` for per-page text, `pdf_info()` for metadata (author, creation date, tags), `pdf_toc()` for table of contents/section headers, `pdf_fonts()` for font info, embedded-attachment access, and `pdf_render_page()` to rasterize pages to bitmap (e.g. PNG/WEBP). Does not handle table extraction (recommends the `tabulizer`/`tabulapdf` package) or OCR of scanned text (recommends the `tesseract` package).
