What it does
Use this skill whenever a PDF file is being produced, opened, transformed, filled, or read. That includes: extracting text or tables from an existing PDF; combining, carving, rotating, cropping, or watermarking pages; composing a fresh PDF (report, invoice, certificate); filling AcroForm fields or overlaying text onto a non-fillable scanned form; encrypting or unlocking a PDF; running OCR over a scanned document; rendering pages to PNG/JPEG for visual analysis. Trigger on mentions of 'PDF', a filename ending in .pdf, requests like 'turn this into a PDF report', or references to AcroForm / form fields.
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_PYTHONenvironment variable is set, skip the installs below, run every command withpython3/uv runreplaced by"$MIMO_PYTHON"(pypdf/pypdfium2/reportlab/Pillow preinstalled; pip console scripts unavailable, use"$MIMO_PYTHON" -m <module>). A bundled qpdf is exposed asMIMO_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:
