+# Mise en Place - PDF to Markdown Converter
+
+A modern task runner configuration for the PDF to Markdown conversion project using [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/).
+
+## Overview
+
+Mise is a polyglot tool manager that handles tool installations and task execution. This project uses it to:
+- Automatically install Python 3.11 and dependencies
+- Provide convenient commands for PDF conversion tasks
+- Manage development workflows
+- Track conversion status
+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+- **mise** CLI installed: https://mise.jdx.dev/getting-started.html
+
+Quick install:
+```bash
+curl https://mise.jdx.dev/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+### Setup
+```bash
+# Clone or navigate to the project
+cd maturaarbeit
+
+# Trust the configuration files (one-time setup)
+mise trust
+
+# Verify installation
+mise tasks
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Convert All PDFs
+```bash
+mise run convert
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Install dependencies (if not already installed)
+2. Run the PDF to Markdown converter
+3. Process all PDFs in `artikel/` folder
+4. Output Markdown files to `artikel/converted/`
+5. Display a conversion summary
+
+### Check Conversion Status
+```bash
+mise run status
+```
+
+Shows:
+- Number of PDFs in `artikel/`
+- Number of converted Markdown files
+- ✓ All PDFs converted (if done)
+
+### Preview Without Writing
+```bash
+mise run dry-run
+```
+
+Shows what PDFs would be converted without actually writing files.
+
+## Available Tasks
+
+| Task | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `install` | Install Python 3.11 and project dependencies |
+| `convert` | Convert all PDFs to Markdown (main task) |
+| `convert-verbose` | Convert with detailed logging output |
+| `convert-quiet` | Convert silently (errors only) |
+| `dry-run` | Preview conversion without writing files |
+| `convert-custom` | Convert from custom input/output folders |
+| `status` | Show conversion status and progress |
+| `clean` | Remove converted Markdown files |
+| `clean-all` | Remove all build artifacts and cache |
+| `help` | List all available tasks |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Conversion
+```bash
+# Convert all PDFs using defaults
+mise run convert
+
+# Convert with verbose logging
+mise run convert-verbose
+
+# Convert silently
+mise run convert-quiet
+```
+
+### Custom Paths
+```bash
+# Convert from custom input directory
+INPUT_DIR=/path/to/pdfs mise run convert-custom
+
+# Specify both input and output directories
+INPUT_DIR=/path/to/pdfs OUTPUT_DIR=/path/to/output mise run convert-custom
+```
+
+### Cleanup
+```bash
+# Remove only converted markdown files
+mise run clean
+
+# Remove all artifacts (markdown files, cache, __pycache__)
+mise run clean-all
+```
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+### `mise.toml`
+Main configuration file with all tasks, environment variables, and tool versions.
+
+**Key sections:**
+- `[env]` - Environment variables (e.g., `PYTHONUNBUFFERED`)
+- `[tasks.*]` - Task definitions with descriptions and commands
+- `[tools.python]` - Python version specification (3.11)
+- `[tools.pipenv]` - Package manager version
+
+### `.mise.local.toml`
+Local overrides for environment-specific configuration. Git-ignored file for personal settings.
+
+**Example customizations:**
+```toml
+# Override input/output directories
+INPUT_DIR = "./my_pdfs"
+OUTPUT_DIR = "./my_output"
+
+# Custom Python path
+PYTHON_PATH = "/usr/local/bin/python3"
+```
+
+### `.gitignore`
+Excludes mise cache and local configuration from version control.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Automatic Tool Installation
+When you run a task, mise automatically:
+1. Detects required tools (Python 3.11)
+2. Downloads and installs them if missing
+3. Creates isolated environment
+4. Executes the task in that environment
+
+### Task Execution
+1. **Setup phase** - Install dependencies via `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+2. **Execution phase** - Run the Python script with appropriate arguments
+3. **Cleanup phase** - Report results and summary
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1  # Real-time output (no buffering)
+INPUT_DIR           # Custom input folder (default: ./artikel)
+OUTPUT_DIR          # Custom output folder (default: ./artikel/converted)
+```
+
+## Advantages Over Traditional Approach
+
+### Before (Manual Setup)
+```bash
+# Install Python globally
+# Install pip
+# Install dependencies
+# Hope everything works
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py
+```
+
+### After (Mise)
+```bash
+# One command - everything handled
+mise run convert
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Reproducible - Same environment every time
+- ✅ Isolated - Tools don't affect system Python
+- ✅ Fast - Caches installed tools
+- ✅ Easy - Single command to run tasks
+- ✅ Portable - Works on any system with mise
+- ✅ Documented - Task descriptions built-in
+- ✅ Flexible - Environment variables for customization
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "mise: command not found"
+
+**Solution:** Install mise first
+```bash
+curl https://mise.jdx.dev/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+### Issue: "Config files are not trusted"
+
+**Solution:** Trust the configuration
+```bash
+mise trust
+```
+
+### Issue: Python dependencies not installing
+
+**Solution:** Manually install in the mise environment
+```bash
+mise run install
+```
+
+### Issue: "No PDF files found"
+
+**Solution:** Check the input directory path
+```bash
+# Verify PDFs exist
+ls -la artikel/*.pdf
+
+# If in different location, use custom path
+INPUT_DIR=/path/to/pdfs mise run convert-custom
+```
+
+### Issue: Slow first run
+
+**Solution:** First run downloads and installs tools (one-time). Subsequent runs are fast.
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Running Tasks from Shell Scripts
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Run conversion in a script
+mise run convert
+
+# Capture exit code
+if mise run convert; then
+  echo "Conversion successful"
+  mise run status
+else
+  echo "Conversion failed"
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Integrating with CI/CD
+```bash
+# GitHub Actions example
+- name: Convert PDFs
+  run: |
+    curl https://mise.jdx.dev/install.sh | sh
+    mise run convert
+```
+
+### Custom Task Definition
+To add a new task, edit `mise.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[tasks.my-custom-task]
+description = "My custom task description"
+run = "echo 'Running custom task'"
+depends = ["install"]  # Depends on install task
+```
+
+Then run:
+```bash
+mise run my-custom-task
+```

+# PDF to Markdown Converter - Setup & Usage Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This is a Python script that converts PDF files to clean Markdown format, extracting text content and document metadata.
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ Extracts text from all PDF pages
+- ✅ Preserves page structure with page headers
+- ✅ Extracts metadata (title, author, creation date)
+- ✅ Generates YAML front matter in Markdown files
+- ✅ Robust error handling (skips problematic PDFs)
+- ✅ Detailed logging and conversion summary
+- ✅ Multiple CLI options for flexibility
+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Python 3.8 or higher
+- pip (Python package manager)
+
+### Setup Steps
+
+1. **Clone or download this project** (if you haven't already)
+
+2. **Install dependencies:**
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+   This installs:
+   - `pypdf` >= 3.0.0 - For PDF text extraction
+   - `python-dateutil` >= 2.8.0 - For date parsing
+
+3. **Verify installation:**
+   ```bash
+   python3 pdf_to_markdown.py --help
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+**Convert all PDFs in default folder (`./artikel`):**
+```bash
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py
+```
+
+**Convert PDFs from custom input folder:**
+```bash
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py /path/to/pdf/folder
+```
+
+**Specify both input and output folders:**
+```bash
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py /path/to/input /path/to/output
+```
+
+### Advanced Options
+
+**Verbose mode** (detailed logging):
+```bash
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py -v ./artikel
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py --verbose ./artikel
+```
+
+**Quiet mode** (suppress output except errors):
+```bash
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py -q ./artikel
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py --quiet ./artikel
+```
+
+**Dry run** (preview without writing files):
+```bash
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py --dry-run ./artikel
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Process all PDFs in artikel folder, save to artikel/converted
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py
+
+# Process PDFs in custom location with verbose output
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py -v ~/Documents/PDFs
+
+# Test what would be converted without writing files
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py --dry-run ./artikel
+
+# Convert and save to specific output directory
+python3 pdf_to_markdown.py ./input_pdfs ./output_markdown
+```
+
+## Output Format
+
+Each converted PDF becomes a Markdown file with the following structure:
+
+```markdown
+---
+title: Document Title
+author: Author Name
+created: 2024-02-23
+converted: 2024-02-23 14:32:15
+source: original_filename.pdf
+---
+
+# Document Title
+
+## Page 1
+
+[Extracted text from page 1...]
+
+## Page 2
+
+[Extracted text from page 2...]
+```
+
+**Front Matter Sections:**
+- `title` - Document title (from PDF metadata or filename)
+- `author` - Document author (if available in PDF metadata)
+- `created` - PDF creation date (if available in metadata)
+- `converted` - Timestamp of when the conversion occurred
+- `source` - Original PDF filename
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pypdf'`
+
+**Solution:** Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Issue: PDF has no extractable text
+
+This typically happens with:
+- **Scanned PDFs** (image-based, no embedded text layer)
+- **Corrupted PDFs**
+- **Encrypted PDFs**
+
+The script will:
+- Log a warning for the file
+- Create a Markdown file with metadata but note that text extraction failed
+- Continue processing other PDFs
+
+### Issue: Permission denied when writing files
+
+**Solution:** Ensure you have write permissions to the output directory:
+```bash
+chmod 755 /path/to/output/directory
+```
+
+### Issue: Special characters or encoding problems
+
+The script uses UTF-8 encoding by default, which handles most character sets. If you encounter issues:
+- Ensure your terminal supports UTF-8
+- Check if the PDF contains unusual character encodings
+
+## Output Statistics
+
+After processing, the script displays a summary:
+```
+============================================================
+CONVERSION SUMMARY
+============================================================
+Total PDFs:       25
+Successful:       23
+Failed:           2
+Output directory: /path/to/converted
+============================================================
+```
+
+If any PDFs failed to convert, details are logged for debugging.
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+.
+├── pdf_to_markdown.py      # Main conversion script
+├── requirements.txt         # Python dependencies
+└── README.md               # This file
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Discovers PDFs** - Finds all `.pdf` files in the input directory
+2. **Extracts Metadata** - Reads title, author, and creation date from PDF metadata
+3. **Extracts Text** - Processes each page and extracts text content
+4. **Creates Markdown** - Formats extracted content with metadata front matter
+5. **Saves Files** - Writes Markdown files to output directory with same names as PDFs
+6. **Reports Results** - Displays conversion summary and any errors
+
+## Limitations
+
+- **No image extraction** - Images in PDFs are not extracted or embedded
+- **Text-only** - Requires PDFs with extractable text (scanned PDFs won't work well)
+- **Layout preservation** - Complex multi-column layouts may not be perfectly preserved
+- **Recursive search** - Only searches the top-level directory (not subdirectories)
+
+## Advanced: Customizing the Script
+
+### To process subdirectories:
+
+Replace this line in the script:
+```python
+pdf_files = list(self.input_dir.glob('*.pdf'))
+```
+
+With:
+```python
+pdf_files = list(self.input_dir.glob('**/*.pdf'))
+```
+
+### To include image extraction:
+
+The script currently skips images. To add image extraction:
+1. Replace `pypdf` with `pymupdf (fitz)` for better image support
+2. Modify the `extract_text()` method to save images
+3. Update `create_markdown()` to reference extracted images
