PDF

94TrustedShips scripts

Direct manipulation of PDF documents through automated extraction, merging, and creation.

What it does

Installing this skill equips your assistant with the capability to interpret and modify PDF files directly. It transitions the assistant from simply viewing these documents to actively restructuring them, allowing for precise data retrieval and document assembly tasks.

When it earns its place

Reach for it when…

Apply this when you need to combine separate files into a single report, extract tabular data for analysis in a spreadsheet, rotate orientation, or generate new documents from scratch. It is appropriate for tasks involving document organization or structural changes.

Look elsewhere when…

Do not depend on this for high-fidelity vector graphic editing or complex page layout design. It is also unsuitable for handling non-standard, highly encrypted, or password-protected files that require manual user intervention to authorize access.

What to say to use it

You never invoke a skill directly — the assistant picks it up when your request matches what it covers. These are the kinds of things that do that.

  • Combine these three PDF documents into one file
  • Extract all the tables from this PDF report
  • Create a new document with this text content
  • Rotate the first two pages of this document
  • Split this PDF into individual files for every page

Install it

Install for all your projects

Copy the skill directory into your personal skills folder. Claude picks it up on its own the next time your request matches what it does — there is nothing to enable.

bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/pdf ~/.claude/skills/pdf

Install for one project only

Put it in the project's own skills folder instead, so it can be committed and shared with everyone working on that repository.

bash
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/pdf .claude/skills/pdf

If a skill of the same name exists in both places, the personal one wins.

Installing on Claude.ai or through the API instead? The full guide covers every surface.

Pair it with an MCP server

PDF changes how the work is done. These servers change what Claude can reach while doing it.
