Lynx PDF Studio — Treat PDFs as Code
Agentic, git-native PDF automation, right inside VS Code
We're excited to announce the release of **Lynx PDF Studio**! Stop wrestling with clunky PDF editors — now you edit a human-readable **OpenPDF Workflow (OPW)** file and a deterministic engine renders the PDF. The workflow is your source of truth, the PDF is a build artifact, and git is your undo stack.
- 📄 **Edit PDFs as code** — merge, split, rotate, reorder, delete, watermark, metadata, and deep compression through a deterministic `parse → validate → optimize → render` pipeline.
- 🔍 **Advanced operations** — OCR (searchable text layer), true redaction, form filling, and image replace/extract.
- ✨ **NEW — Markdown & table extraction** — turn any PDF into clean Markdown *with tables*, powered by `pymupdf4llm` or Microsoft **MarkItDown**. Just right-click an input → **Read as Markdown**.
- 🗺️ **Interactive object map** — browse pages, images, fonts, and form fields in the sidebar, and apply an operation to exactly the right target.
- 🤖 **AI-native** — a bundled **MCP server** lets Claude, Codex, or Gemini validate, plan, and edit your workflow safely. Auto-generated `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` teach your agent the project.
- ⚡ **Local-first** — `pdf-lib` is bundled (zero setup). Optional PyMuPDF / qpdf / Ghostscript / Tesseract backends light up automatically when installed, shown in a color-coded Dependencies panel.
