Notes

1. 1. Ensure that the input PDF file is not encrypted.

2. 2. If you encounter a path error, please check the direction of the slashes in the path (use <span>/</span> or <span>\</span> for Windows).

3. 3. If you need to process multiple PDFs in batch, you can modify the script logic to add a loop.
