PDF Skill
Overview
This skill provides a comprehensive set of tools for working with PDF files. It supports extracting text and tables, converting pages to images, and filling out both fillable and non-fillable PDF forms.
Usage
1. Extract PDF Content
Extracts text and tables from a PDF and outputs a formatted Markdown file.
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/extract_pdf_content.py [input_pdf] [output_md]
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/extract_pdf_content.py [input_pdf] [output_md]
2. Convert PDF to Images
Converts each page of a PDF into a PNG image. Useful for visual analysis or OCR.
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py [input_pdf] [output_directory]
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py [input_pdf] [output_directory]
3. Handle PDF Forms
Extract Form Field Info
Identifies fillable fields in a PDF and saves their metadata to JSON.
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/extract_form_field_info.py [input_pdf] [output_json]
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/extract_form_field_info.py [input_pdf] [output_json]
Fill Fillable Fields
Fills standard PDF form fields using values from a JSON file.
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/fill_fillable_fields.py [input_pdf] [field_values_json] [output_pdf]
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/fill_fillable_fields.py [input_pdf] [field_values_json] [output_pdf]
Fill with Annotations
Fills non-fillable PDFs by adding text annotations at specific coordinates.
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py [input_pdf] [fields_json] [output_pdf]
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py [input_pdf] [fields_json] [output_pdf]
Examples
User: "Extract the text from 'report.pdf' and save it to 'report.md'." Action:
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/extract_pdf_content.py "report.pdf" "report.md"
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/extract_pdf_content.py "report.pdf" "report.md"
User: "Convert 'presentation.pdf' to images in the 'slides' folder." Action:
# Windows (Recommended)
cmd /c set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python skills/pdf/scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py "presentation.pdf" "slides"
# Unix/macOS
python skills/pdf/scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py "presentation.pdf" "slides"
