# 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
