Actor
PDF Text Extractor
Downloads three PDF URLs and extracts each file's full embedded text plus metadata - title, author, page count, creation date - and a per-page text breakdown. No OCR, so scanned image-only PDFs return empty text. Replace urls with your own direct PDF links (reports, invoices, contracts).
