PDF Text Extraction

Extract all text from a PDF. Send as pdf_base64 (base64-encoded PDF, max ~10 MB decoded). Returns text (full concatenated text), pages array (per-page text + char_count), page_count, and metadata (title, author, creator). Encode with: Buffer.from(pdfBytes).toString('base64'). Ideal for RAG pipelines, document QA, or LLM ingestion.
