Headless PDF work with PdfCraft, provisioned on demand by pi-craft - combine, split, extract, rotate, delete and reorder pages, read text, render a page to png, audit faux redactions, script its 163 tools. Use for "merge these two PDFs", "extract pages 1 and 3 from this PDF", "rotate page 1 and drop page 2", "what text is in this PDF".

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

# PdfCraft — headless PDF editing

PdfCraft is ArtCraft's PDF app. `pi-craft` provisions the headless `pdfcraft-cli` on first use (no desktop app).
Choosing between apps, the discover → execute → save → verify loop, hand-off formats and the MCP policy live in
`craft-studio`. Note: `pi-craft verify --pages/--text-contains` itself uses `pdfcraft-cli`, so any PDF you make is
checked by the same engine that wrote it.

## What it is for / formats

PDF in, PDF / png (`.png .jpg .tif .pam`) / text out. Page-level operations (combine, split, extract, rotate,
delete, move, blank pages), metadata, text extraction, page rendering, forms, bookmarks, stamps, redaction,
OCR/optimise batches. There is no project file: a PDF is the document. For laying out a new multi-page document
use DesignCraft or WordCraft (then `convert … pdf`); PdfCraft edits PDFs that already exist.

## CLI dialect

`pi-craft pdfcraft exec <args…>` passes the arguments to `pdfcraft-cli`.
PdfCraft has **no `commands` / `describe` / `--cmd`**: it has direct subcommands plus a JSON tool registry.

```bash
pdfcraft-cli tools                                    # JSON list of the 163 automation tools + input schemas

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/pdfcraft@sha256:1fddac9429f5d4f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.bf59830, 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.
