Work with PDF files: extract text, merge/split/reorder pages, rotate, read form fields, and render pages to images. To author a formatted PDF, build a .docx/.pptx and convert it. Use whenever the user asks to read, combine, split, or produce a PDF.
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
# Work with PDF files (pypdf + pdf2image)
Use the open-source **pypdf** (`import pypdf`) for page operations and form fields,
and **pdf2image** (`from pdf2image import convert_from_path`) to render pages to
images. Work in visible steps; verify before reporting done.
## Common tasks
- **Extract text**: `pypdf.PdfReader(path).pages[i].extract_text()` (or `python3 -m markitdown file.pdf` if available).
- **Merge**: `w = pypdf.PdfWriter(); [w.append(p) for p in paths]; w.write('out.pdf')`.
- **Split / select pages**: read with `PdfReader`, `writer.add_page(reader.pages[i])` for the pages you want.
- **Rotate**: `page.rotate(90)` before writing.
- **Form fields**: `reader.get_fields()` to read; `writer.update_page_form_field_values(...)` to fill.
- **Render to image** (for visual inspection): `convert_from_path('file.pdf')[0].save('page1.png')`.
## Authoring a formatted PDF
pypdf does not lay out rich content. To produce a styled PDF, **build a `.docx` or
`.pptx` first** (see the docx/pptx skills), then convert:
```bash
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir . report.docx
```
This yields a clean, professionally formatted PDF.
## Workflow
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add phuetz/code-buddy/pdf@sha256:8e89e2a30ae60968The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.904f11f, 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.
