Glad to say after months I'm finally doing working on this spider as my first ever pull request. Thanks for the opportunity as I learned a lot. I used scrapy meta arguments for each crawl since the self keyword didn't make each item unique and would repeat values. The code for tests might seem "weird" but scarped information can vary when working with PDFs so I tried a general approach.
