A tool for extracting text from PDF files one page at a time. PDFs are fixed-layout documents commonly used for reports, papers, manuals, and forms.

Use it to read or summarize uploaded PDF documents and inspect their page-by-page text.

It removes the need to copy text manually from a PDF. It also makes clear that image-only scanned PDFs will not produce text because this tool does not perform OCR, which reads text from images.

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	$0.00029	$0.00201
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00101
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00040
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00020

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (extract.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.

What it actually says

pdf — PDF documents

Use this skill to read text from .pdf files.

Scripts

extract.py

Print text content from a .pdf, page by page.

python org/public/core/pdf/extract.py <path-to-file.pdf>

Output is plain text with --- page N --- separators. PDFs that are pure scans (image-only, no embedded text layer) will produce empty pages — OCR is not performed.

Direct pypdf usage

For metadata, structure, splitting, merging, or filling forms, import pypdf directly. The library is preinstalled.

from pypdf import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("/path/to/file.pdf")
for page in reader.pages:
    text = page.extract_text()

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

extract.py 538 B runs code

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.

pdf is a skill published in the GitHub repository decocms/studio (401 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 201 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
