SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Working with office documents and PDFs often breaks formatting, tables, pagination, or formulas when handled as plain text. This Skill ensures documents are read, edited, and converted while preserving their structure and rendering fidelity. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Format-Aware Editing: Handles DOCX, PDF, PPTX, and XLSX with workflows tailored to each format, preserving slide geometry, formulas, merged cells, and tracked changes. - Conversion with Fidelity Checks: Inspects both source and output during format conversion to catch lost layout, embedded objects, comments, or accessibility metadata. - Visual Verification: Renders pages and slides to confirm page count, clipping, wrapping, font fallback, and pagination rather than relying on text extraction alone. - Use Case: Update a quarterly report DOCX with new figures, convert it to PDF, and verify the rendered output keeps tables, headers, and page breaks intact. ## Quick Start Use the documents skill to edit the attached report.docx, convert it to PDF, and verify the layout renders correctly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I edit a DOCX file without losing formatting?▼

Use a document library for structured, targeted edits rather than rebuilding from plain text. Identify the requested change and template constraints first, then render the result for visual inspection when layout matters.

How to convert PDF to DOCX without losing layout?▼

Inspect both the source and converted output, since conversion can lose layout, embedded objects, comments, formulas, or accessibility metadata. Render pages of both files to compare visual placement and pagination.

Does text extraction verify a PDF renders correctly?▼

No. Text extraction alone does not prove rendering fidelity. Visual inspection of rendered pages is required to catch clipping, overlap, wrapping, font fallback, and pagination issues in layout-sensitive output.

How do I preserve formulas when editing XLSX files?▼

Preserve types, formulas, number formats, merged cells, validation, and workbook relationships during edits. Recalculate with an available spreadsheet engine when formula results matter, and verify displayed values afterward.

What should I check when editing PPTX presentations?▼

Preserve slide geometry, theme, speaker notes, and visual hierarchy. Render the slides after editing to verify slide count, order, and that no content is clipped or overlapping.
