I tried automating PCB library creation from datasheets

When working on circuit design, I often run into the same frustrating problem: the component I want to use has no library. No symbol. No footprint. No reliable pin mapping. At that point, the workflow is always the same. Open the datasheet, read package dimensions, trace the pin layout, build the symbol, build the footprint, then check everything again because one small mistake can affect the entire board. It is necessary work, but it never feels like the work I should actually be spending my time on. Library creation has a bad combination of properties: it is repetitive it takes time mistakes are expensive verification is still required even after the drawing work is done That made me ask a simple question: Can we automate the first pass of PCB library creation directly from a datasheet PDF? If you think about what we do manually, the process is fairly structured. We read dimensions. We interpret package drawings. We understand pin assignments. Then we translate that information into
