Convert PDF files to Markdown — extracts text with pdfplumber and describes images/diagrams via a local vision-language model. Use when the user asks to extract PDF content, convert presentation slides to text, transcribe conference talks from PDFs, or OCR diagrams and charts from documents.
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 -> Markdown (pdf2md) Extracts PDF content into Markdown: text as-is + image/diagram meaning via a Vision Language Model. ## When to Use - User asks to "extract from PDF", "convert PDF to text/Markdown", "transcribe slides" - Presentation decks (text + graphics + diagrams) - Conference talks, workshops, technical reports - PDFs where plain text extraction produces garbled output ## When NOT to Use - PDFs that are purely text (use pdfplumber directly — faster, no VL needed) - One-page forms or invoices (use pdfplumber tables) - Filling PDF forms (use well known `pdf` skill instead) - Scanned documents without selectable text (this skill works, but OCR-only tools may be faster) ## Dependencies Install once per environment: ```bash pip install pdfplumber pypdfium2 pillow requests ``` ## VL Model Setup Default: **LM Studio** with `qwen/qwen3-vl-8b` loaded on `localhost:1234`. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works — Ollama, vLLM, cloud providers. To switch: ```bash python scripts/extract_pdfs.py --source "<path>" --model "llama3.2-vision" --api-url "http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions" ``` ## Workflow ### Step 1: Verify VL model is reachable ```bash …

How to install
mdr add dimonier/skills/pdf2md@sha256:d2f7104627e021e1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260714.5777904, 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.
