Description
pdf is an agent skill for doing things with PDF files in Python and with command-line tools. It covers reading and extracting text and tables, combining or merging several PDFs, splitting them apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, and encrypting or decrypting files. It also covers extracting images and running OCR on scanned documents to make them searchable. The guide begins with a quick start that reads a PDF with the pypdf library and reports its page count, and it points to a separate reference file for advanced features, JavaScript libraries and detailed examples. If you need to fill in a PDF form, the skill directs you to a dedicated forms guide and asks you to follow its steps. The skill is for anyone who has a PDF to read or change, whether a report, a paper, a contract or a scanned file. It is part of the k-dense-ai scientific agent skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,800 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills --skill pdf.…
