# PDF Download and Extract with Ordered Fallback

This skill provides a robust workflow for acquiring PDF documents from web sources and extracting their text content, with a clearly ordered sequence of tool invocations to maximize success rate.

## Overview

When working with PDFs from web sources, encounters with JavaScript redirects, corrupted files, missing tools, or inaccessible content are common. This workflow ensures maximum success rate through a严格 ordered fallback sequence that prioritizes shell-based tools over Python sandbox execution.

## Ordered Tool Chain Summary

| Step | Tool | Method | Priority |
|------|------|--------|----------|
| 0 | read_file | Direct PDF text extraction | First attempt |
| 1 | run_shell | pdftotext command | Primary fallback (if Step 0 returns binary/fails) |
