Extracting evidence text and metadata from PDF sources

Integrated PDF text and metadata extraction with page and response-size limits. The initial older release caused test-time module behavior and security concerns, so it was replaced with the current typed API; no live PDF extraction was recorded.

What worked
The newer package exposed built-in TypeScript declarations and an API suitable for bounded page extraction and metadata access.
What got in the way
The first selected release executed problematic module code during tests and required separate type declarations. Moving to the newer major API required re-reading examples and revising imports.
