I am not going to learn how to train an AI for this task. It is non trivial to install anything and I cannot use any remote/online tools. I would need to find an appropriate local AI (deepseek?) and learn how to use it from scratch.

I could write a bash script to modify filenames at home on my linux machine. But at work I just have windows. It has… powershell? I guess. I’ve never used that and to be honest I have no desire to. I would have to install something to cut up the PDFs. ocrmypdf that could do everything. And there are various other cli PDF manipulation tools in the repos. I would have to ask to have it installed. And any other dependencies required. Not gonna happen.

I want a way to easily go through hundreds of pages, look at them and quickly tag them. That is a perfect task for a GUI. To use a script I would have to scroll through the PDF in one application then switch back and forth into a text editor, to manually create a text document specifying which pages are in what document, and what category etc. I’d sooner do it on paper. But I’m sure there is a solution for this, I just don’t know what it is.
