Say it in your own words; the assistant finds this recipe by itself. Examples:
“Lav en PDF-faktura baseret på tallene i `faktura_data.csv`.”
“Kig efter fejl i layoutet på `rapport.pdf`, især i tabellerne.”
“Ekstrahér alle overskrifter fra `manual.pdf` og gem dem som en liste.”
“Generate a professional invoice PDF for client ID 402 using the data in `data/invoices.json`.”
“Extract all text from `contract.pdf` and save it to a plain text file.”
“Check if the table in `report.pdf` is aligned correctly and fix any overlapping text.”

Do not use this skill for simple text-based PDF manipulation where layout is irrelevant, or for converting PDFs to other formats like Word or HTML. For basic file renaming or moving PDFs without content inspection, use a general file management skill instead.
Details
When it is the right choice
Use this skill when the user needs to create a new PDF with specific formatting, extract data from existing PDFs, or verify that a generated PDF renders correctly without visual defects. It is ideal for tasks where layout, typography, and visual integrity are critical, such as generating reports, invoices, or certificates.
The full recipe the assistant reads
PDF Skill
When to use
Read or review PDF content where layout and visuals matter.
Create PDFs programmatically with reliable formatting.
Validate final rendering before delivery.
Workflow
Prefer visual review: render PDF pages to PNGs and inspect them.
Use pdftoppm if available.
If unavailable, install Poppler or ask the user to review the output locally.
Use reportlab to generate PDFs when creating new documents.
Use pdfplumber (or pypdf) for text extraction and quick checks; do not rely on it for layout fidelity.
After each meaningful update, re-render pages and verify alignment, spacing, and legibility.
Temp and output conventions
Use tmp/pdfs/ for intermediate files; delete when done.
Write final artifacts under output/pdf/ when working in this repo.
