# zicula-pdf-tools-kit — free sample

Three real files from the full kit (14 files), each **trimmed to taste** —
enough to judge the quality on your own machine, not enough to run a
document service with:

- `pdftools-sample.py` — a working slice of the kit's `pdftools.py` CLI:
  **2 of the 13 tools** (`info` and `merge`) with the exact code style,
  error messages and local-only behavior of the full file. It runs for real:
  `pip install pypdf`, then `python3 pdftools-sample.py info any.pdf` or
  `python3 pdftools-sample.py merge -o packet.pdf a.pdf b.pdf`. No uploads,
  no network calls — try it with your Wi-Fi off. The other 11 tools
  (split, extract, delete, rotate, metadata, protect, unprotect, compress,
  img2pdf, extract-images, extract-text) are listed but not included.
- `PLAYBOOK-14D-sample.md` — **Days 1–2 of the 14-day playbook**, complete:
  the setup loop, the self-test, and building your demo set of 3
  before/after pairs. Days 3–14 (packaging the offer, first outreach wave,
  delivering a real job, second wave with proof, the day-14 decision table)
  are summarized at the end so you know what the full playbook adds.
- `pitch-and-pricing-sample.md` — the core of the pricing guide: the three
  hidden costs of free PDF sites, the one-sentence pitch, and 1 of the 5
  price anchors. The other 4 anchors, the six buyer types, the exact
  outreach email and the retainer section are listed at the end.

## What the full kit adds (the other 11 files)
