Read, fill and build PDFs: inspect structure and fonts, extract text and tables with pdfplumber and poppler, fill and flatten AcroForms with pypdf, create with reportlab, merge, split and encrypt with qpdf, and verify by rendering the page and looking at it.
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 A PDF is a **fixed page**. Everything in it, text, rules, a table's alignment, a form field's box, is placed at a coordinate and stays there. That is the whole reason to reach for the format and the whole reason it is awkward: a PDF is right when the layout is part of the message (a filled form, a signed-looking statement, a tear sheet that must print identically everywhere) and wrong when the user will want to edit the content later. Two jobs live here and they barely overlap. **Reading** a PDF the user hands you: find out what it is, pull the text and tables, look at the pages that matter. **Producing** one: fill an existing form, assemble pages, or draw a new document. Both end the same way, by rendering to PNG and looking, because nothing else in this toolchain can see the page. > **User preferences override these defaults.** A template the user supplies, a house font, a filename convention, a specific page size: those outrank every rule here. The rules below are for when nothing has been specified. ## Decide: Which Output? | Want | Use | |---|---| | Read, search or summarise a PDF the user supplied | **this skill**: `info.py`, then `extract.py`, then `render.py` | …

How to install
mdr add ginlix-ai/langalpha/pdf@sha256:a8d7f24f256dc3aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.26f807b, 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.
