Skill Content

# PDF Processing Use this skill when a task involves inspecting, repairing, extracting, or rewriting PDF documents. ## Flow 1. Inspect the document with `pdfinfo`. 2. Extract text with `pdftotext -layout` and preserve page boundaries. 3. If the file is malformed, repair it with `qpdf` before retrying extraction. 4. Verify the resulting document opens and that its page count is unchanged. Do not overwrite the source document unless the user explicitly requests it.

pdf-reading

Use this skill when you need to read, inspect, or extract content from PDF files — especially when file content is NOT in your context and you need to read it from disk. Covers content inventory, text extraction, page rasterization for visual inspection, embedded image/attachment/table/form-field extraction, and choosing the right reading strategy for different document types (text-heavy, scanned, slide-decks, forms, data-heavy). Do NOT use this skill for PDF creation, form filling, merging, splitting, watermarking, or encryption — use the pdf skill instead.
