How This Skill Works

Official Anthropic skill for working with PDF files: extract text and tables, fill and read forms, merge and split documents, and create new PDFs.

How it works:

  • Ships SKILL.md plus Python tooling so the agent operates on the PDF structure directly instead of hallucinating content.
  • Activates when a task involves reading or producing PDFs.

Install via the Claude Code plugin marketplace, or use on paid Claude.ai plans and the Skills API. Source-available — see the repository.
