Read, merge, split, fill and create PDFs — including scanned ones.
Checking the letterforms and the sentence
What it does
Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable.

If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.
You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.
What it can touch
Includes 8 scripts
Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.
How we know
Found in the skill’s folder: scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py, scripts/check_fillable_fields.py, scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py, scripts/create_validation_image.py….
Installs other software
Following it will install packages (npm, pip, brew or similar). Those come from their own publishers, not from this skill.
How we know
The SKILL.md contains package-install commands.
No known risk pattern found
Launch7’s automated check read all 12 text files in this skill and matched none of its risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.
How we know
Read 2026-10-04, commit 8a1541c by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.
Recently maintained
Its repository has had changes recently.
How we know
Last push to anthropics/skills: 2026-10-03 (1 days before the scan).
Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 4 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check
Add it to your AI
Supported. Already built into Claude, on every plan — there is nothing to install.
Make sure Code execution and file creation is switched on (Settings → Capabilities).
Attach your file or describe what you need. Claude uses the skill on its own when it is relevant.
How Claude does this: support.claude.com · checked 28 Sep 2026 · “Supported” means documented by the vendor; Launch7 has not run it end to end
Worth knowing
- Its licence is proprietary, so Launch7 links to it rather than bundling it.
