Read and create PDF files with a bundled Node helper. Use it when a task involves a .pdf: extracting its text page by page (requirements, invoices, papers, reports), checking its page count or metadata, or producing a PDF, either directly for plain Latin-text documents or by printing HTML with a Chrome or Edge found on this machine, or converting an Office file with LibreOffice when present.
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 The helper `scripts/pdf.mjs` (Node 24+, no dependencies) reads PDFs and writes simple ones. Run it by its absolute path, quoted, from your own working directory: ``` node "<this skill's directory>/scripts/pdf.mjs" <command> ... ``` `<this skill's directory>` is the folder holding this SKILL.md. Do not change into it and never write inside it: keep inputs, your own scripts and outputs in the workspace, and name them for their task. ## Commands | command | what it does | |---|---| | `probe` | JSON: which of Chrome, Edge, Chromium, soffice and pdftotext exist here, with ready command lines | | `info <file>` | JSON: page count, version, encryption, title, producer | | `read <file> [--pages 2-4] [--max-chars N] [--json]` | the text of each page in reading order; says when a page has no extractable text | | `build <spec.json or spec.md> <out.pdf>` | a plain document: title, headings, paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, word wrap, page numbers | The helper refuses to overwrite an existing output unless you pass `--force`. Exit codes: 2 usage, 3 missing input, 4 invalid input, 5 refused output, 6 unsupported (an encrypted PDF). ## Reading …

How to install
mdr add earthwalker17/minidsh/pdf@sha256:eb328f16a4836bf5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.6f62b86, 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.
