A practical, CLI-first guide to transform PDF chaos into searchable, summarized, queryable knowledge from Bash: install cross-distro tools, OCR and normalize with ocrmypdf/tesseract, pdftotext, qpdf, Ghostscript; run local (Ollama) or cloud AI for chunked summaries and Q&A; extract images/tables, build citations from metadata, and batch everything with GNU parallel—no GUIs, no lock-in.
