PDF generation design toolkit — analyze a reference template, pick the library (pdfmake, pdf-lib, PDFKit, Puppeteer, @react-pdf), and design modular sections with conditional columns, revision control, and visual verification. Carries hard-won pdfmake pitfalls: column widths that silently push the table off the page, colorless SVG logos, glyph-eating ligatures. Triggers — PDF generation, PDF template, pdfmake, invoice/proposal/report PDF, column overflow, SVG logo in PDF.
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
## User Input ```text $ARGUMENTS ``` Consider the user input before proceeding. ## Purpose Guide the design and implementation of programmatic PDF generation from structured data. This skill covers the full lifecycle: analyzing reference templates, recommending libraries, designing modular layouts, and producing implementation-ready specifications. **This skill is NOT for:** - Acrobat JavaScript / AcroForms (interactive form logic) - Editing or merging existing PDFs (use `pdf-lib` directly) - Browser-side PDF viewing (standard iframe/embed) ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Analyze Reference Template When the user provides a reference PDF, Excel, or image: 1. **Read the reference file** — use the Read tool for PDFs/images 2. **Identify sections** — header, data blocks, tables, summaries, footer 3. **Classify each field** as: - **Fixed** — hard-coded in template (company name, terms & conditions, logo) - **Dynamic** — comes from system data (client name, item prices, totals) - **Calculated** — derived from other fields (subtotals, tax, grand total) - **Conditional** — appears only when condition is met (discount column, tax column) …

How to install
mdr add j0ruge/skills/pdf-generation@sha256:03e737c0604f17f4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.2, 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.
