Use when rendering a Markdown document (English or Korean) such as a proposal, IRB cover letter, handout or reference table to PDF via pandoc and xelatex, with auto-fitted table widths and CJK fonts. Not for manuscripts with a bibliography (/manage-refs) or Word forms.
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
# Render-PDF-Doc Skill This skill handles layout only (CJK fonts, table column widths) with raw pandoc + xelatex — no Quarto, whose `tbl-colwidths` has reported PDF regressions (issues 6089/9200). Not for: a manuscript with a bibliography (`/manage-refs` `scripts/render_pandoc.sh`), an institutional .docx form (`/fill-protocol`), the ICMJE COI form (`/fill-icmje-coi`), figures or PPTX (`/make-figures`, `/present-paper`). ## Dependencies Python 3 is required by the wrapper. FontTools is optional for the font-file coverage check (`python3 -m pip install fonttools`). ```bash # macOS brew install pandoc brew install --cask mactex-no-gui # xelatex + xeCJK (~5 GB) # Linux sudo apt-get install pandoc texlive-xetex texlive-lang-cjk fonts-noto-cjk # Windows (PowerShell) — run in Git Bash afterwards winget install --id JohnMacFarlane.Pandoc winget install --id MiKTeX.MiKTeX # xelatex; installs missing LaTeX packages on demand # No CJK font download needed: Malgun Gothic ships with Windows 7+ and is the default here. ``` Detection: ```bash bash scripts/check_deps.sh ``` On Windows / Git Bash, MiKTeX's bin directory …

How to install
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/render-pdf-doc@sha256:43a78b1455bc0fdfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.3f4f25d, 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.
