Processes, extracts and verifies existing PDF files. Use whenever the user wants to read text or tables from a PDF, OCR a scanned PDF, merge, split, rotate or compress PDFs, inspect metadata, or check that extracted data matches the source, even if they only say "get the data out of this PDF". Every pipeline ends with a verification step. For creating new styled PDFs use pdf-atelier instead.
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-processing
A repeatable workflow for reading, transforming and verifying existing PDF files. Extraction is never trusted blindly: every pipeline ends with a verification step.

## When to use
- Extract text or tables from digital PDFs
- OCR scanned PDFs
- Merge, split, rotate or compress PDFs
- Validate that extracted data matches the source document
- Inspect metadata, fonts and structure
To create a new styled PDF, use `pdf-atelier`. To process or verify an existing one, use this skill.
## Workflow
1. **Inspect**: run `bash scripts/pdf_inspect.sh input.pdf`. It reports page count, encryption, integrity and a verdict on the text layer.

How to install
mdr add mehranqadirian/skills/pdf-processing@sha256:04436d6d65c2a717The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.1016a2c, 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.
