## Changelog

### 1.0 (2026-10-30)

- First release: find PDFs on websites and extract their text, or extract direct PDF links.
- PDF discovery: links, download buttons, embedded viewers (iframe, embed, object) and PDF URLs inside page scripts and JSON data; links that only say "PDF" are checked by reading the file header.
- Keyword filters, crawl depth, page and PDF limits; pages that look like reports, downloads or publications are crawled first.
- Google Drive and Dropbox share links are converted to direct downloads.
- Markdown or plain text with detected headings and lists, removal of running headers, footers and page numbers, optional per-page text and RAG chunks with page ranges and heading paths.
- Metadata: title (with fallbacks), author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, language, dates, PDF version, form fields, size, SHA-256.
- Change tracking between runs: new, changed, unchanged and removed PDFs.
- robots.txt is honoured; scans without text, errors, non-PDFs and invalid input are free.
