A tool for turning Markdown files into formatted PDF documents, including themes, Chinese font support, and visual checks.

Use it to create printable, mobile-friendly, or Chinese-language PDFs from one file or from a batch of Markdown files.

It avoids manually formatting documents for printing or phone reading and helps catch layout problems before delivery.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00132	$0.05567
Opus 5	$0.00066	$0.02783
Sonnet 5	$0.00026	$0.01113
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00557

Measured 5d ago against content hash 7075c52510a0, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-08-30, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf-creator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (scripts/batch_convert.py, scripts/check_table_borders.py, scripts/md_to_pdf.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF Creator

Create professional PDF documents from markdown with Chinese font support and theme system.

Quick Start

Every scripts/… path below is relative to this skill's own directory — run the commands from there, or substitute the absolute path. Running them from the directory holding your markdown fails with Failed to spawn: 'scripts/md_to_pdf.py'. Omitting the output path is allowed and derives it from the input's basename (input.md → input.pdf, in the input's directory).

# Default theme (formal: Songti SC + black/grey, A4 print)
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md output.pdf

# Warm theme (training: PingFang SC + terra cotta)
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md --theme warm-terra

# Mobile theme (narrow page, large font — for phone reading / WeChat sharing)
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md --theme mobile

# Batch convert all markdown files with a specific theme
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/batch_convert.py *.md --theme warm-terra --no-preview

# No weasyprint? Use Chrome backend (auto-detected if weasyprint unavailable)
python scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md --theme warm-terra --backend chrome

# List available themes
python scripts/md_to_pdf.py --list-themes dummy.md

Themes

Stored in themes/*.css. Each theme is a standalone CSS file.

Theme	Page Size	Font	Color	Best for
`default`	A4	Songti SC + Heiti SC	Black/grey	Legal docs, contracts, formal reports
`cjk-auto`	A4	Songti SC + Heiti SC	Black/grey	Tables with uneven column content (course schedules, itemized lists)
`warm-terra`	A4	PingFang SC	Terra cotta (#d97756) + warm neutrals	Course outlines, training materials, workshops
`warm-terra-menu`	A4	PingFang SC	Terra cotta (#d97756) + warm neutrals	warm-terra variant hardened for module menus/lists: 2-column long-text tables wrap without first-column overflow + Menlo unicode-range keeps CJK inline-code from rendering blank in Preview/Adobe
`mobile`	148mm × 210mm	PingFang SC	Terra cotta + warm neutrals	Phone reading, WeChat sharing, on-the-go reference

Files

What ships with it

16 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
