Use this skill when the user needs visual proof that specific values exist in a PDF — not just to read a PDF, but to see exactly where a number, amount, clause, or field appears on the page with a highlighted screenshot. Trigger when someone is cross-referencing a PDF against something else (a form they're filling out, a claim, a conversation, another document) and needs confirmation with evidence. Common signals: entering data into TurboTax or a form and pulling source numbers from last year's return; asking an accountant to verify reported figures; checking contract terms before sending to legal; matching invoice line items to a PO. The core intent is 'show me the actual text in context' — not summarize, not extract all text, but produce a cropped screenshot with the value highlighted. Do NOT trigger for PDF operations without a specific value to locate: merging, splitting, summarizing, converting, or creating PDFs.
PDF reading, creation, and review guidance
## Reading PDFs
- Use `pdftoppm -png $OUTDIR/$BASENAME.pdf $OUTDIR/$BASENAME` to convert PDFs to PNGs.
- Then open the PNGs and read the images.
- `pdfplumber
Split a PDF file into multiple smaller parts, each under a specified file size limit. Use this skill whenever the user wants to break a large PDF into chunks by file size — for example, to fit under an upload limit, email attachment cap, or API constraint. Trigger on phrases like "split PDF", "break PDF into parts", "PDF too large", "PDF under X MB", "chunk PDF", or any request to divide a PDF file by size. Always use this skill when a PDF splitting task involves a file size target, even if the user just says something like "my PDF is too big to upload".
[omh] Huge PDF or document to read in full: read a very large PDF, contract, manual, or report through Hermes in page-anchored ranges with a coverage ledger. Use when the user says: long-document-reading, long document reading, summarize this pdf, read this pdf, process this pdf, go through this pdf, summarize this document, read this document.
Convert text-layer or scanned PDF files to clean Markdown and extracted images with MinerU, then run deterministic quality checks and optional LLM-assisted formula review. Use when a user asks to OCR a PDF, extract a PDF to Markdown, preserve formulas or tables from a PDF, or prepare a PDF for translation.
PDF Render QA
Use for source or exported PDFs. Treat rendered pages as layout evidence; text extraction alone is insufficient.
## Stage: enhance
Preserve page, figure/table, caption, and crop provenance
PDF Visual Curation
Use only with PDF source attachments. It selects source evidence; ingest remains the source of figures and tables.
## Stage: enhance
Preserve the explicit image policy and distinguish
Use this skill any time a .pdf file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: reading, parsing, or extracting text from a PDF; viewing outlines, stats, or formatting issues; rendering PDF pages to HTML or SVG; applying highlights, text color changes, or modifications on specific pages; deleting pages; replacing content stream text. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'PDF', 'pdf file', or references a .pdf filename.
Build fillable PDF forms and contract templates with signature fields. Use when creating a form or template, adding fillable fields to an existing PDF, replacing static text with fields, or preparing a document for e-signing. Triggers on "PDF form", "fillable PDF", "add fields to a PDF", "contract template", "skapa PDF-formulär", "PDF-mall", "fyllbart PDF", "formulario PDF". Not for sending a finished document: see formify-send-contract.
把 PDF 转成**可编辑**的 PowerPoint——文字变真文本框、色块和线条变原生矢量形状、 照片变图片，不是每页拍一张图。走 LibreOffice 的 PDF 导入过滤器，再自动修掉它那几个 对中文不友好的默认行为（字体名无空格 / 文本框叠字 / 汉字变康熙部首 / 逐字空格）。 当用户说「PDF 转 PPT」「pdf to pptx」「这份 PDF 我想改字」「只有 PDF 没有源文件」 「方案 PDF 转成可编辑 PPT」「把这个 PDF 做成 PowerPoint」时使用。 与 `html-to-pptx` 的区别：那个只吃 HTML，喂 PDF 会被直接拒。 扫描件（无文字层）不适用——只会得到一堆图片，得先 OCR。

Convert a markdown file to PDF using mistune + reportlab. Use when the user wants to convert a .md file to PDF, or when another skill needs to produce a PDF from markdown output.
Translate English PDF documents (especially academic papers) into Chinese using PDFMathTranslate-next (pdf2zh), producing a monolingual Chinese PDF and a bilingual side-by-side PDF with formulas, figures, and layout preserved. Automatically installs the pdf2zh_next environment via uv and reuses the model/API the user already configured in Codex or Claude Code (any OpenAI-compatible gateway), falling back to the free SiliconFlow service when no key is present. Use this skill whenever the user wants to translate a PDF to Chinese (or another language), translate a paper/论文, produce a bilingual PDF, or mentions pdf2zh / PDFMathTranslate — even if they don't name the tool explicitly. Proactively invoke this skill (do not translate manually) whenever a PDF translation task appears.
Use whenever the user is customizing, overriding, or debugging PDF output in Perfex CRM — invoice PDFs, estimate PDFs, proposal PDFs, payment receipts, contract PDFs, statement PDFs, credit note PDFs, the `my_` prefix override convention, TCPDF library usage, `App_items_table` customization, font configuration (freesans, dejavusans, droidsansfallback), PDF merge fields, logo/heading settings, or e-invoice JSON/XML export (3.4.0+). Also trigger when the user says "my PDF is blank", "Arabic text broken in PDF", "custom logo not showing in invoice PDF", "how to add a field to the invoice PDF", "PDF font wrong", "override invoicepdf.php", "items table column in PDF", or "e-invoice XML format".
Convert PDF files to Markdown using opendataloader-pdf. Extracts text, tables, headings, lists, and images with correct reading order. Use for PDF parsing, PDF to Markdown conversion, document extraction, and AI-ready data preparation.
A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
