Read, create, and review PDFs with layout and visual formatting integrity
pdf is an agent skill from OpenAI's curated skills collection that guides an assistant through reading, generating and validating PDF files where rendering and layout matter. It renders pages to images with Poppler for visual inspection, creates documents with reportlab, and extracts text with pdfplumber or pypdf. The skill's main point is that rendering pages before delivery catches defects that text extraction misses silently, such as clipped text and overlapping elements. Typical uses include generating a formatted PDF report from structured data, extracting text from a multi-column PDF without losing the layout context, checking a generated invoice for clipped text or misaligned tables, building a PDF resume or proposal with consistent typography and margins, and validating page numbering and section headers before a document is sent. It suits anyone who produces PDFs as part of their work and needs them to look right on the page, not only to contain the right words. The visual check depends on Poppler being installed, so confirm the tool is present before you rely on the rendered pages. Reading a PDF is safe, but a generated file should still be reviewed by a person before it is sent to a client. The skill is listed on officialskills.sh and installs from the openai/skills repository. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/openai/skills --skill pdf.
