Use when creating, merging, splitting, filling, or extracting from a PDF — library-per-task, output validated. Triggers on 'merge these PDFs', 'fill this PDF form', 'split the PDF', 'create 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
# pdf-tools Wing-1 engineering skill for **PDF write/transform** — `markitdown` reads a PDF to Markdown; this creates, merges, fills, and extracts. Ships zero runtime: the agent drives libraries the consumer has. Pattern re-implementation only. ## When to use - "Merge / split / rotate / encrypt these PDFs." - "Fill this PDF form (AcroForm) with these values." - "Create a PDF from this content." - "Extract the text / tables from this PDF" (structured extraction beyond `markitdown`'s Markdown). - "OCR this scanned PDF." Do NOT use for: PDF → Markdown ingestion (`markitdown`); Word (`docx-authoring`). ## Procedure ### 1. Library per task — do not force one tool | Task | Library path | |---|---| | merge / split / rotate / encrypt | pypdf — page-level operations, no rendering | | create from content | reportlab (canvas / platypus) | | form-fill (AcroForm) | a form-aware library; map field name → value, then flatten if the form must not be re-editable | | text / table extraction | a text-layer extractor; tables need a layout-aware pass, not naive text | | OCR (scanned/image PDF) | an OCR engine over rasterized pages — ONLY when there is no text layer | …

How to install
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/pdf-tools@sha256:0ef687b0da05bfeeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.d0ef0ea, 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.
