A toolset for working with PDF files, the fixed-layout documents commonly used for sharing and printing. It supports reading, extracting text, creating professional PDFs, and filling forms.

Use it to extract text, identify table content, create reports as PDFs, convert extracted material into other documents, or fill PDF forms.

It avoids having to process PDF contents or build PDF documents by hand.

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 5.1	$0.00027	$0.02778
Opus 5.5	$0.00011	$0.01111
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00556
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00278

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py, scripts/check_fillable_fields.py, scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF Processing

Reading & Extracting Text

Use Python's pypdf via run_python_script. If pypdf isn't installed, call pip_install(["pypdf"]) first.

# extract_pdf.py
import sys
from pypdf import PdfReader

reader = PdfReader(sys.argv[1])
for i, page in enumerate(reader.pages, 1):
    text = page.extract_text() or ""
    print(f"=== Page {i} ===")
    print(text)

Run with run_python_script(script_path="extract_pdf.py", args=["/path/to/document.pdf"]). Then summarize / analyze / answer questions about the captured stdout.

For Tables in PDFs

Extract raw text with the script above.
Parse the tabular structure from the text output (look for repeating column-aligned rows).
If the user wants it as a spreadsheet, write a Python script that uses openpyxl to emit .xlsx (see the xlsx skill).

Creating Professional PDFs

Use the create_pdf.py script to generate beautiful, content-rich PDF documents.

Step 1: Build a JSON structure file

Create a JSON file describing the document content. Be thorough and detailed — include rich content, not just bullet points.

{
  "title": "Document Title",
  "subtitle": "A detailed subtitle explaining the document purpose",
  "author": "Author Name",
  "date": "2024-01-15",
  "header": "Document Title — Confidential",
  "footer": "© 2024 Company Name",
  "theme": "professional",
  "page_size": "A4",
  "body": [
    { "type": "toc" },
    { "type": "heading", "level": 1, "text": "Introduction" },
    { "type": "paragraph", "text": "Write full, detailed paragraphs here. Avoid short one-liners. Each paragraph should be 3-5 sentences with substantive content that provides real value to the reader." },
    ...
  ]
}

Step 2: Run the script

python3 scripts/create_pdf.py structure.json output.pdf

Available Themes

Theme	Style
`professional`	Navy + blue accents, corporate feel
`minimal`	Black + red accents, clean typography
`modern`	Purple + pink accents, contemporary

What ships with it

12 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.
