Bash skill — run `pdf2mark <file.pdf>` in your shell (not an MCP tool). Convert PDFs to clean Markdown — local extraction, cloud-OCR fallback for scans. Use when the user wants a PDF as Markdown.

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

# Skill: pdf2mark

```bash
pdf2mark document.pdf          # That's it.
```

Converts PDFs to Markdown. The default auto-selects the converter: **pdfplumber** (local, free) first; for scans (no text layer) it **falls back to llamaparse** (cloud OCR — the document is uploaded to LlamaCloud, US). Token comes from `credgoo FETCH_URL_BEARER` (same credential as the fetch-url `api` tool).

**Default output:** `md/<name>.pdf.md` next to the PDF — `pdf2mark abd.pdf` writes `./md/abd.pdf.md` (the `md/` dir is created).

## Keep it simple

| ✗ Don't | ✓ Do |
|---------|------|
| `pdf2mark doc.pdf --out doc.md -v 2>&1` | `pdf2mark doc.pdf` |
| `pdf2mark scan.pdf --method llamaparse --tier fast --language de -v` | `pdf2mark scan.pdf` |

## Usage

```bash
pdf2mark document.pdf            # → ./md/document.pdf.md (default: file next to the PDF)
pdf2mark scan.pdf --method llamaparse    # force cloud OCR (scans, tables, multi-column)
pdf2mark doc.pdf --out doc.md            # explicit output file
pdf2mark doc.pdf --stdout                # markdown to stdout instead of a file
pdf2mark doc.pdf --force                 # bypass cache — re-upload and re-convert
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devskale/skale-skills/pdf2mark@sha256:5640599174725366

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.7.0, 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.
