What this skill does

The tool is intended for self-hosted processing where inputs and outputs remain on disk and can return machine-readable JSON usage summaries. Some HTML-to-PDF features fetch remote URLs; translation or agent planning may send document text to an LLM command or provider. Do not use untrusted providers for confidential files, and avoid placing reusable passwords directly on the command line. Rasterized redaction creates intermediate files, which should be securely cleaned; review redacted output before distribution.

What you can do with it

Developers and operations teams handling local PDF conversion, splitting, merging, compression, OCR, or redaction.

When to use it

Prefer local files. Confirm network and data authorization before using remote URLs or LLM processing. Avoid unapproved translation services for confidential documents, and clean password-sensitive or redaction intermediates carefully.

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Summarize PDF operations available locally and sensitive-document considerations; do not open, convert, or upload any document.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

# PDF Agent

Summary
- Use `pdfagent` to perform PDF operations (merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, etc.) with detailed usage metering in the output.

Show all (40 lines)

- Best for local, self-hosted processing where inputs/outputs must stay on disk.
- This skill ships source code in `pdfagent/` and runs via `uv run` from `scripts/pdfagent_cli.py` (no PyPI publish required).

Requirements
- `uv` installed and on PATH.
- System tools as needed by specific commands: `qpdf`, `ghostscript`, `poppler` (`pdftoppm`), `libreoffice`, `chromium` (for HTML -> PDF), and `ocrmypdf`.

Core Usage
- Merge PDFs with usage metrics:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py merge file1.pdf file2.pdf --out merged.pdf --json`
- Split a PDF by ranges:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py split input.pdf --range "1-3,5" --out-dir out_dir --json`
- Compress a PDF with a preset:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py compress input.pdf --preset ebook --out compressed.pdf --json`
- Convert images to PDF:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py jpg-to-pdf image1.jpg image2.png --out output.pdf --json`
- OCR a scanned PDF:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py ocr scan.pdf --lang eng --out scan_ocr.pdf --json`
- Agent mode for multi-step instructions:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py agent "merge then rotate 90 degrees every other page" -i file1.pdf -i file2.pdf --out out.pdf --json`
- Dependency/binary check:
  `uv run {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py doctor --json`

Notes
- Use `--json` for machine-readable outputs (includes `usage` and `outputs`).
- For encrypted PDFs, pass `--password` or per-file `--passwords`.
- If a conversion tool is missing, `pdfagent` may use a fallback path and will note it in output or logs.
- Optional Python deps are still command-specific:
  `uv run --with pdf2docx --with camelot-py[cv] --with pdfplumber --with pyhanko {baseDir}/scripts/pdfagent_cli.py <command> ...`
