pdf-editing

pdf-editing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orkas-AI/Orkas. It costs 3 tokens per session (645 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for working with PDF files, which are fixed-layout documents. It covers reading, creating, and making controlled changes with bundled tools, including text extraction, OCR for scanned pages, page operations, overlays, and form filling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read PDFs, create new documents, merge or split pages, delete or reorder pages, rotate or watermark them, fill forms, and check rendered output after changes.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to handle PDFs without installing extra packages or accidentally overwriting the only source file.

About the project

Orkas is a desktop application for commanding a team of AI agents through one chat, with a commander model assigning work to specialist agents in parallel or in sequence. People use it to coordinate research, writing, presentations, and software tasks while keeping files on their computer. The catalogue includes skills for extending the agents available to Orkas.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf-editing 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 12d ago.

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.

PDF Editing

Tool Route

Use the bundled tools; do not install nano-pdf, pypdf, qpdf, Poppler, or another PDF package during a task.

  • Call read_files with one paths item for a normal PDF; extraction is prepared in the same call.
  • Use ocr_file only for scanned or image-only pages whose text cannot be extracted.
  • Use create_pdf with source_type:"markdown" for a text-first new PDF or source_type:"html" for tables and custom layout.
  • Use edit_pdf for deterministic edits to an existing PDF: merge, extract, delete, reorder, rotate, watermark, visible text/image overlay, and form filling.
  • Use pdf_render on every changed page and representative unchanged pages before delivery.
  • Every edit_pdf output is a new path. Read that new output with read_files; its first call prepares extraction before returning content.

Editing Rules

  1. Work from the user's source but always write edit_pdf output to a separate .pdf; never overwrite the only source.
  2. Page numbers passed to edit_pdf and pdf_render are 1-based. Inspect page count/content before destructive page operations.
  3. Use extract_pages to split or select pages. Use merge with input_paths in the exact desired order.
  4. Treat overlay_text as visible annotation/replacement artwork only. It does not remove underlying text and is not secure redaction.
  5. Arbitrary replacement of existing PDF text is not structurally reliable. Prefer editing the source DOCX/XLSX/PPTX and regenerating the PDF; otherwise use a disclosed visual overlay and inspect it.
  6. Do not claim legal-grade redaction, digital signing, encryption, or password removal: these are not part of the current built-in contract.
  7. For forms, use exact field names. Render the result and confirm values, checkboxes, and flattening behavior in a PDF viewer when fidelity matters.

Delivery Check

Check page count and order, rotations, changed-page renders, clipping, watermark placement, form values, extracted/OCR text, output path, and source preservation. For a watermark or overlay, explicitly confirm from the rendered pages that it is legible, positioned as intended, and not clipped. Return the final PDF path, untouched source path, actions performed, pages affected, and any remaining viewer-specific review.

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.
