pdf-official

A toolkit for reading, creating, filling, and changing PDF files. PDFs are fixed-layout documents commonly used for reports, invoices, forms, and scanned pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract text, tables, metadata, or images; combine or rotate pages; crop, watermark, encrypt, or compress files; create PDFs; fill forms; and handle scanned documents with OCR.
Why use it?
It provides separate workflows for extracting content, transforming pages, composing documents, and filling forms. This makes it easier to choose the right process and validate the result.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf-official 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 11 executable files (scripts/apply_values.py, scripts/carve.py, scripts/combine.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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF skill

An Apache-2.0 toolkit for reading, composing, transforming, and filling PDF files. Written from scratch on top of permissively-licensed open-source libraries (pypdf, pdfplumber, pypdfium2, reportlab, pdf-lib, qpdf) so this can be embedded in commercial projects without special agreement.

Route the task

Pick the sub-guide by the verb of the request.

Task Path Read
Pull text / tables / metadata / images out of an existing PDF Extract extract.md
Combine, carve, rotate, crop, watermark, encrypt, or shrink Transform transform.md
Build a PDF that doesn't exist yet (report, invoice, certificate) Compose compose.md
Fill a form (AcroForm or scanned) Interactive interactive.md
Scanned / image-only PDF (no selectable text) Extract → OCR extract.md §5

If a task mixes several of these, follow the order: probe → plan → extract or compose → validate.

Every path starts with a probe. scripts/survey.py returns page count, whether the file is encrypted, whether it has an AcroForm, and whether page 1 looks like a scan.

First install

Bundled runtime: when the MIMO_PYTHON environment variable is set, skip the installs below — run every command with python3/uv run replaced by "$MIMO_PYTHON" (pypdf/pypdfium2/reportlab/Pillow preinstalled; pip console scripts unavailable, use "$MIMO_PYTHON" -m <module>). A bundled qpdf is exposed as MIMO_QPDF (picked up automatically by the scripts here); invoke it directly as "$MIMO_QPDF" --check file.pdf.

Python-only path (all BSD / MIT / Apache) — covers 95% of tasks:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pypdf pdfplumber pypdfium2 reportlab Pillow

Add these external binaries only when you actually need them:

# qpdf — merge/split/encrypt/repair, Apache-2.0
brew install qpdf                # macOS
apt-get install -y qpdf          # Debian / Ubuntu

# Tesseract — OCR for scanned PDFs, Apache-2.0
brew install tesseract
python3 -m pip install pytesseract pdf2image
apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr

# Poppler — pdftotext / pdftoppm / pdfimages, GPL-2.0
# Optional. Only install if you accept a GPL dependency at CLI level.
brew install poppler
apt-get install -y poppler-utils

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-official is a skill published in the GitHub repository XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code (12,904 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 1,755 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
