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 Editing

## Tool Route

Use the bundled tools; do not install `nano-pdf`, pypdf, qpdf, Poppler, or another PDF package during a task.

- Call `read_files` with one `paths` item for a normal PDF; extraction is prepared in the same call.
- For scanned or image-only pages, call `pdf_render` only on needed pages and read the returned images with the current model. If it cannot read images, ask for readable text or a vision-capable model; do not install a recognition engine. Mark unreadable fields instead of guessing.
- Use `create_pdf` with `source_type:"markdown"` for a text-first new PDF or `source_type:"html"` for tables and custom layout.
- Use `edit_pdf` for deterministic edits to an existing PDF: merge, extract, delete, reorder, rotate, watermark, visible text/image overlay, and form filling.
- Use `pdf_render` on every changed page and representative unchanged pages before delivery.
- Every `edit_pdf` output is a new path. Read that new output with `read_files`;
  its first call prepares extraction before returning content.

## Editing Rules

1. Work from the user's source but always write `edit_pdf` output to a separate `.pdf`; never overwrite the only source.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add orkas-ai/orkas/pdf-editing@sha256:fc6d3d9793d00ead

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.bc4e8a6, 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.
