Converts PDF (.pdf) documents into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Use this skill whenever the user shares, references, or asks about a .pdf file — even if they don''t say "convert" or "markdown" explicitly. This includes requests to "read", "summarize", "review", "extract data from", "compare", or "analyze" a PDF report, paper, invoice, form, contract, or scanned document. Always run the bundled conversion script to produce…
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
# Convert PDF to Markdown ## When to use this skill Trigger this skill any time there is a `.pdf` file that needs to be understood or processed — for example, a user attaches a PDF and asks questions about it, wants a summary, wants specific data or tables pulled out, or wants multiple PDFs in a folder processed together. PDF is a layout/print format, not reliably readable as plain text, so always convert it to Markdown first using the script in this skill rather than trying to open or parse the file directly. This skill only supports `.pdf` — that's MarkItDown's only PDF-family format, so there's no legacy format to worry about here (unlike Word's `.doc` or Excel's `.xls`). **Mixed file types:** When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple supported file types (`.pdf`, `.docx`, `.xlsx`), this skill handles only `.pdf` files. The agent MUST also invoke the sibling skills in parallel: - `convert-word-to-md` for any `.docx` files - `convert-excel-to-md` for any `.xlsx` files Never process a folder and silently skip a supported file type. All three skills must be invoked together when mixed types are present. ## Setup (once per environment) …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/convert-pdf-to-md@sha256:adadaec52cb7bda8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.e4a1f57, 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.
