It accepts either the `pdftoppm` binary or the `pypdfium2` Python package. If creation or rendering dependencies are missing, name the missing dependency and ask before installing anything. Do not silently switch to an unverified text-only result. ## Creation workflow 1. Establish the document goal, audience, page size, language, visual tone, required content, and any brand assets. Infer ordinary choices from context instead of running a long intake interview. 2. For reports, briefs, memos, handouts, and other con
