Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.
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.

# PDF Processing Guide
## Prerequisites
- **pypdf**: core PDF reading and writing
- **pdfplumber**: text and table extraction
- **reportlab**: PDF creation
- **pdftotext** (poppler-utils): command-line text extraction
- **pdftoppm** (poppler-utils): PDF-to-image conversion
- **qpdf**: PDF manipulation (merge, split, rotate, decrypt)
## Tool Selection Decision Table
Choose the right approach before starting:
| Input | Condition | Recommended Tool |
|-------|-----------|-----------------|
| URL | PDF accessible via URL | `web_extract(url)` — fastest, no download needed |
| Local file | Text-native PDF (generated by software) | `pymupdf` — ~25 MB install, instant extraction |
| Local file | Scanned/image-only PDF (no selectable text) | `marker-pdf` — OCR with layout preservation (~5 GB, needs GPU or CPU) |
| Local file | Form filling or page manipulation | `pypdf` / `pdfplumber` + form scripts |
| Local file | NLP editing or semantic search | `nano-pdf` — sentence-level operations |

How to install
mdr add mateaix/mateclaw/pdf@sha256:f32633b77bc1d846The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260423.edaf762, 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.
