pdf Claude Code Skill

This skill equips the assistant to work with PDF files across a wide range of tasks. According to the SKILL.md source, it supports reading and extracting text or tables, merging and splitting PDFs, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDF documents, filling forms, encrypting or decrypting files, extracting embedded images, and running OCR on scanned pages to make them searchable. It relies on Python libraries such as pypdf, pdfplumber, and reportlab, along with command-line tools like pdftotext, qpdf, and pdftk. Separate reference files, FORMS.md and REFERENCE.md, are pointed to for form-filling steps and more advanced usage. The skill activates whenever a user references a .pdf file or asks for one to be produced.
