What problem does it solve? Working with PDFs often fails on layout fidelity: text extraction loses structure, generated documents render with clipped text or broken tables, and defects go unnoticed until delivery. This Skill provides a workflow for reading, generating, and visually validating PDF files so the final output is polished and correct. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Visual PDF Review: Render PDF pages to PNG images with Poppler's pdftoppm and inspect them for alignment, spacing, and legibility issues. - Programmatic PDF Generation: Create new PDF documents with reportlab while maintaining consistent typography, margins, and section hierarchy. - Text Extraction and Checks: Use pdfplumber or pypdf for text extraction and quick content checks without relying on them for layout fidelity. - Use Case: Generate a multi-page report PDF with charts and tables, render every page to PNG, and iterate until headers, footers, and page numbering show zero visual defects. ## Quick Start Use the pdf skill to create a formatted PDF report and render its pages to images so you can verify the layout before delivery.
