Read, create, fill, and transform PDF files. Covers extracting text and tables, OCR of scanned pages, filling fillable and flat forms, and flattening, merging, splitting, rotating, stamping and encrypting. Use when a task takes a .pdf as input or must produce one.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PDF files You already know pypdf, pdfplumber and reportlab. This skill adds what they don't give you: form-filling scripts that check their own input, a way to see pages as a reader will, and the PDF behaviours that silently put content in the wrong place. ## Running scripts `<skill>` is the directory containing this file. Run bundled scripts by absolute path from the user's working directory, so relative paths to their files keep working: ```bash uv run <skill>/scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py report.pdf pages ``` Run Python you write with its dependencies declared, either `uv run --with pypdf script.py` or a PEP 723 header. Rendering pages needs poppler (`pdftoppm`); OCR also needs Tesseract. ## Choosing a tool | Task | Use | |---|---| | Fill a form, fillable or flat | [forms.md](forms.md), always. It has scripts for every step. | | Text | pdfplumber, or `pdftotext -layout` from the command line. Text missing from pages that visibly have it means a scan: see [ocr.md](ocr.md). | | Tables | pdfplumber: see [tables.md](tables.md) | | New PDFs | reportlab: Platypus for flowing documents, canvas for exact placement | …

How to install
mdr add appautomaton/document-skills/pdf@sha256:a520ce16badece13The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f643aba, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
