Use when the deliverable is a document's bytes or its literal content — text/tables out of PDFs, AcroForm fill and flatten, page merge/split, PDF/DOCX from templates, OCR of image-only scans. NOT schema-typed fields pulled from text (that is structured-extraction), NOT signature routing (e-signature) or spreadsheet cells/formulas (spreadsheet-ops).
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
# Document processing
File in, content out — or data in, file out. You open a byte stream (PDF, DOCX, scan) and either pull the content out, or you build a new document from a template and a data dict. That is the whole job: the deliverable is **bytes of a document or the literal content of one**.
The boundary test, apply it first:
- Deliverable is **raw text / Markdown / table cells / a generated file** → you are in the right place.
- Deliverable is **a typed object matching a schema** (`{parties: [...], total: 1234.50}`) → that is `structured-extraction`. This skill stops at "clean Markdown out of the file"; the schema-constrained extraction runs on that Markdown.
Everything else routes too: signing with an audit trail → `e-signature`, spreadsheet grids/formulas/XLSX-as-data → `spreadsheet-ops`, indexing for cross-document Q&A → `rag` (this skill *produces* the text `rag` ingests, it does not index it), downloading the files off a site → `data-scraper`.
## Step 0 — does the PDF have a text layer?
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/document-processing@sha256:c213bfbe95a47dceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.a707f94, 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.
