## Validation Shortcut
Run this minimal command first to verify the supported execution path:
```bash
python scripts/extract_pdf.py --help
```
## When to Use
- Converting a PDF report/paper into Markdown while preserving page structure (`## Page XX`) for easy navigation.
- Preparing PPT or design materials where you need both extracted text and page screenshots/blocks (tables, figures, diagrams).
- Reviewing scanned or mixed PDFs and filtering out "text-only" screenshots to keep only meaningful visuals.
