title	pdf-extractor web component
author	Patrick Hall

Built with Claude.ai plus some tweaks.

This component is a web component that allows you to extract text from PDF files. It uses the pdf-lib library to read the PDF and extract the text content. The extracted text is then displayed in a textarea element.

The resulting text can also be downloaded as a text file.

The component depends on pdfjs, a JavaScript library for parsing and rendering PDF files.

As I often use this component to extract from multi-column dictionaries, it has some support for columns.
