Extract text and tables from PDF files into clean Markdown. Use when the user shares a PDF or asks to read, summarize, or convert one.
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 Extract ## Steps 1. Run `scripts/extract.py <file.pdf>` to get raw text and tables as Markdown. 2. Review headings; PDFs often lose structure — restore `##` sections from font-size hints in the output. 3. Return the Markdown to the user. For very long documents, summarize per section first and ask before dumping everything. ## Notes - Scanned PDFs have no text layer; tell the user OCR is required rather than returning empty output. - Never send the document contents to any external service.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add yzfly/awesome-dsh-skills/pdf-extract@sha256:0fd7571c4ffef598The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
