pdf-reading
pdf-reading is a Document generation & office files skill for AI agents, published by SeifBenayed in the cloclo repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates pdf-reading D (67/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Use this skill when you need to read, inspect, or extract content from PDF files — especially when file content is NOT in your context and you need to read it from disk. Covers content inventory, text extraction, page rasterization for visual inspection, embedded image/attachment/table/form-field extraction, and choosing the right reading strategy for different document types (text-heavy, scanned, slide-decks, forms, data-heavy). Do NOT use this skill for PDF creation, form filling, merging, splitting, watermarking, or encryption — use the pdf skill instead.
