Fill, redline, and generate PDFs with the right tool for the source. Detects AcroForm vs flat PDFs, handles AES-encrypted government forms, navigates appearance-stream gotchas, and verifies every output by rendering. Use when the user asks to fill a PDF form, redline a PDF, generate a PDF from markdown, or reproduce a packet of forms. PDF-only — DOCX, XLSX, and other formats are out of scope.

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 Mechanics

## Role
The mechanical layer for PDF work. Domain skills (legal, finance, regulatory packets) decide *what* the document should say. This skill decides *how* to produce it correctly. Domain skills delegate here rather than re-derive PDF mechanics each session.

**Scope:** PDF only. DOCX track-changes, XLSX, image manipulation belong in their own skills.

## First step: inspect, then choose path

```
SOURCE                     GOAL              PATH
──────                     ────              ────
PDF (encrypted)            anything          decrypt first → re-inspect
PDF (AcroForm fields > 0)  fill              scripts/fill_acroform.py
PDF (AcroForm fields > 0)  redline           overlay onto AcroForm; fill is for values, not markup
PDF (flat, 0 fields)       fill              scripts/fill_overlay.py
PDF (flat, 0 fields)       redline           scripts/render_redlines.py
Markdown                   generate PDF      scripts/markdown_to_pdf.py
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add usetemi/skills/pdf@sha256:6220cfca24145063

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260508.18fb4d4, 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.
