Handles the PDF workflow you need when you're shipping something meant to be printed or formally shared. Pulls text out of existing PDFs, generates new ones from content, and works with PDF forms. It's straightforward for press releases, one-pagers with branding, or any design deliverable that needs to land as a polished PDF. Comes from Anthropic's official skills repository, so the implementation is solid. The prototype mode means you'll want to check the upstream GitHub for the full setup with assets and scripts. If you regularly turn content into print-ready documents or need to automate PDF generation, this saves you from reinventing that wheel.

How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/pdf

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (pdf) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
