#!/usr/bin/env python3"""Export PDF pages as PNG images at a chosen DPI. Rasterizer fallback chain: pypdfium2 (pip) -> pdftoppm (poppler-utils).When neither is available, exits 0 with {"rendered": false, "missing": [...]}so callers can branch instead of crashing. Typical uses: visual verification with a vision model, and exportingimage-only (scanned) pages for hand-off to the references/ocr-extraction.md in this skill."""from __future__ import annotations import argparseimport jsonimport sysfrom pathlib import Path  def parse_pages(spec: str, page_count: int) -> list[int]:    """'1-3,5,9-' (1-based, inclusive) -> sorted page list."""    pages: set[int] = set()    for part in spec.split(","):        part = part.strip()        if not part:            continue        if "-" in part:            start_s, _, end_s = part.partition("-")            start = int(start_s) if start_s else 1            end = int(end_s) if end_s else page_count            pages.update(range(start, end + 1))        else:            pages.add(int(part))    bad = [p for p in pages if not 1 <= p <= page_count]    if bad:        raise ValueError(f"pages out of range 1-{page_count}: {sorted(bad)}")    return sorted(pages)  def main() -> int:    for stream in (sys.stdout, sys.stderr):        try:            stream.reconfigure(encoding="utf-8")        except Exception:            pass    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Export PDF pages as PNG images.")    parser.add_argument("pdf", help="Input PDF path")    parser.add_argument("--pages", default="1-", help="1-based ranges, e.g. '1-3,5' (default: all)")    parser.add_argument("--dpi", type=int, default=150, help="Render DPI (default 150)")    parser.add_argument("--out-dir", required=True, help="Directory for PNG files")    parser.add_argument("--prefix", default="page", help="Output filename prefix (default 'page')")    parser.add_argument("--password", help="Password for encrypted PDFs")    args = parser.parse_args()     sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(__file__).resolve().parent))    import _raster     if not _raster.available_backends():        json.dump({"rendered": False, "missing": _raster.missing_hints()}, sys.stdout)        print()        return 0     try:        from pypdf import PdfReader    except ImportError:        print("Missing dependency: install with 'python3 -m pip install pypdf'", file=sys.stderr)        return 2    reader = PdfReader(args.pdf)    if reader.is_encrypted:        if args.password is None or not reader.decrypt(args.password):            print("File is encrypted; pass --password.", file=sys.stderr)            return 3    page_count = len(reader.pages)     try:        pages = parse_pages(args.pages, page_count)    except ValueError as exc:        print(f"Error: {exc}", file=sys.stderr)        return 4     out_dir = Path(args.out_dir)    out_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)    files = []    for pageno in pages:        img = _raster.rasterize_page(args.pdf, pageno, dpi=args.dpi, password=args.password)        if img is None:            json.dump({"rendered": False, "missing": _raster.missing_hints()}, sys.stdout)            print()            return 0        out_path = out_dir / f"{args.prefix}{pageno:03d}.png"        img.save(out_path)        files.append(str(out_path))    json.dump({"rendered": True, "dpi": args.dpi, "page_count": page_count,               "files": files}, sys.stdout, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)    print()    return 0  if __name__ == "__main__":    sys.exit(main())
