# Add PDF Reader
Adds PDF reading capability to all container agents using poppler-utils (pdftotext/pdfinfo). PDFs sent as WhatsApp attachments are auto-downloaded to the group workspace.
## Phase 1: Pre-flight
1. Check if `container/skills/pdf-reader/pdf-reader` exists — skip to Phase 3 if already applied
2. Confirm WhatsApp is installed first (`skill/whatsapp` merged). This skill modifies WhatsApp channel files.
## Phase 2: Apply Code Changes
### Ensure WhatsApp fork remote
```bash
git remote -v
```
If `whatsapp` is missing, add it:
```bash
git remote add whatsapp https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw-whatsapp.git
```
### Merge the skill branch
```bash
git fetch whatsapp skill/pdf-reader
git merge whatsapp/skill/pdf-reader || {
git checkout --theirs package-lock.json
git add package-lock.json
git merge --continue
}
```
This merges in:
- `container/skills/pdf-reader/SKILL.md` (agent-facing documentation)
- `container/skills/pdf-reader/pdf-reader` (CLI script)
- `poppler-utils` in `container/Dockerfile`
- PDF attachment download in `src/channels/whatsapp.ts`
- PDF tests in `src/channels/whatsapp.test.ts`
If the merge reports conflicts, resolve them by reading the conflicted files and understanding the intent of both sides.
### Validate
```bash
npm run build
npx vitest run src/channels/whatsapp.test.ts
```
### Rebuild container
```bash
./container/build.sh
```
### Restart service
```bash
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw # macOS
# Linux: ...
