Description
View-pdf is an agent skill that opens a PDF in a live, interactive viewer so you can review it together with the assistant. It runs a local PDF server that renders the document and lets you annotate it, highlight passages, stamp it, fill in form fields and place signatures, with the changes visible as you make them. The skill is for the moments when a plain text answer is not enough, such as showing someone a contract, walking through a research paper, or helping complete a form. Typical requests include asking to highlight the key terms of a contract so you can review them, filling out a form, signing a particular page, adding initials to every page, or marking a document as confidential or approved. You can also ask the assistant to walk through a document and annotate its important parts. The skill is part of Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins and is used with the viewer rather than as a text-only summary.…
