What problem does it solve?
Many workflows rely on information trapped in PDF files that is time-consuming to extract, edit, or repurpose manually; this skill centralizes common PDF operations to remove that friction and accelerate document-based tasks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Extract plain text and preserve layout-sensitive content from PDFs for search, summarization, or archival.
- Extract tables into structured formats, convert scanned pages to searchable text via OCR, and extract embedded images.
- Create and modify PDFs: merge or split documents, rotate pages, add watermarks, generate new PDFs, and apply or remove password protection.
- Fill both interactive and non-interactive PDF forms programmatically and extract form data for downstream processing.
- Use case: Batch-process hundreds of invoices to extract line items and totals into CSV, merge supporting documents into a single report, and apply a watermark for distribution.
Quick Start
Use the pdf skill to extract text and tables from the attached document 'document.pdf' and return a CSV of detected tables plus a plain text transcript.
