Don't. PDF is a terrible format for storing machine readable data. You lose a ton of Information while you create the PDF which you then painstakingly have to get back later (if that's even possible)

Agreed on the rest. PDFs don't store machine-readable data. Often just pixelated scanned hot garbage dumpster fire text.
I hate PDFs but have to work with the satanforesaken things. Hence the notebook. It's my little way of trying to give my little PDF-bespoked-hellscape a tiny little glow-up.
