Edit PDFs with natural-language instructions using the nano-pdf CLI tool.

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

# nano-pdf — Natural-Language PDF Editing

Use the `nano-pdf` CLI to perform common PDF operations — merge, split, compress, add watermarks, redact text, and more — via simple natural-language or flag-based commands.

## When to Use

- User wants to merge multiple PDFs into one
- User wants to split a PDF into individual pages or page ranges
- User wants to compress a large PDF to reduce file size
- User wants to add a watermark or page numbers to a PDF
- User wants to redact or remove specific pages

## How to Use

### 1. Install nano-pdf

```powershell
pip install nano-pdf
# Verify installation
nano-pdf --version
```

### 2. Merge multiple PDFs

```powershell
nano-pdf merge report1.pdf report2.pdf appendix.pdf --output merged.pdf
```

### 3. Split a PDF into individual pages

```powershell
# Split every page into a separate file
nano-pdf split document.pdf --output ./pages/

# Split a specific range into a new file
nano-pdf split document.pdf --pages 1-5 --output extract.pdf
```

### 4. Compress a PDF

```powershell
# Default compression
nano-pdf compress large_file.pdf --output compressed.pdf

# Aggressive compression (lower image quality)
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/nano-pdf@sha256:6adc5f96afff30a3

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
