Start with these

  1. 1

    HTML to PDF

    Print CSS that breaks pages where you meant

    Claude chooses the rendering engine from the job: WeasyPrint for templated business documents, Playwright when JavaScript or browser fidelity matters, Paged.js for book layouts. Templates use @page rules, margin-box counters, named pages and break controls from the start, assets are local so fonts embed, and every PDF is checked with pdffonts and page images.

  2. 2

    PDF Toolkit

    Inspect first, then extract, merge, fill or generate

    Claude inspects every PDF before touching it, checking for a text layer, encryption, form fields and XFA, then picks the right library for the job. Tables come out as clean CSV rows with totals checked, merges keep outlines, forms get filled using their exact field names, and new documents are built with reportlab. Every output is reopened and verified rather than assumed.

  3. 3

    Invoice Generation

    Gapless numbers, exact cents, immutable invoices

    Claude models invoices as drafts that become immutable when issued, assigns gapless numbers per series inside the issuing transaction, and computes totals with Decimal under one written rounding policy shared by PDF, XML and ledger. Corrections go through credit notes, e-invoice formats come from the same frozen data, and archived files carry a hash in write-once storage.

Document Extraction with LLMs

Invoices to validated JSON, with evidence per field

Claude turns invoices, receipts, and contracts into structured records you can trust. It designs nullable schemas with verbatim evidence for key fields, extracts with schema-constrained output from native PDFs or scans, checks totals, dates, and IDs in code, and routes anything doubtful to human review. A bundled scorer reports per-field accuracy, misses, and hallucinations against a gold set.

OCR for Scans

Searchable scans with measured, not assumed, accuracy

Claude OCRs only the pages that need it, preprocesses photos and scans for Tesseract by fixing rotation, contrast, scale and borders, and picks the page segmentation mode that matches the layout. A bundled script reports word-level confidence and the shakiest words, so numbers and names get checked against the image, and tables or handwriting are routed to better tools.

Markdown Publishing

One Markdown source, clean PDF, DOCX and HTML

Claude sets up repeatable pandoc builds instead of one-off commands: a defaults file per output, a reference.docx that carries your Word house styles, citeproc with real CSL styles, and the right PDF engine for the job, whether LaTeX, Typst or WeasyPrint. It handles cross-references, math, diagrams and Lua filters, then opens each output to check it.

Document Redaction

Remove the data, not just hide it under a box

Black boxes over live text are how redacted court filings leak. With this skill Claude deletes the underlying characters and image pixels using PyMuPDF, scrubs metadata, comments, tracked changes and attachments, and rewrites the file in full. A separate verifier searches two text extractors, raw bytes, fields and metadata, and every job ends with a redaction log.

Report Automation

Recurring reports that refuse to send bad numbers

Claude turns a hand-built weekly or monthly report into one command keyed on the reporting period: versioned SQL, validation gates for freshness, completeness and reconciliation, deterministic matplotlib charts, and Jinja2 templates rendered to PDF, HTML email or Slack. Runs are idempotent, never resend by accident, print their template version, and leave a manifest for audit.

LaTeX Documents

Clean builds, resolved citations, no ?? in the PDF

Claude sets up LaTeX projects that build with one latexmk command: a sane preamble with packages in the right order, biblatex with biber, booktabs tables, siunitx units, and cleveref cross-references. After each build a bundled log parser lists errors by line, undefined references and citations, and wide overfull boxes, so fixes target causes instead of rerunning and hoping.

Mermaid Diagrams

Diagrams as code that render on the first try

Claude picks the diagram type that answers the question, builds it from the real code or schema, and keeps each view under about twenty nodes. It avoids the parser traps that blank a diagram, like a lowercase end label or unquoted parentheses, themes with frontmatter config that survives dark mode, and renders with mmdc before handing it over, accounting for older Mermaid versions on GitHub.

Paper Analysis

Map every claim to its evidence before judging

Claude reads a paper in three passes, builds a claim map that ties every headline claim to the table or figure behind it, and rates the evidence strength. It checks the design against a checklist suited to the study type (trial, observational, ML benchmark, survey, qualitative), works through threats to validity, and ends with a calibrated verdict instead of a paraphrased abstract.

Email Automation

Process every message once, never reply to robots

Claude reads mailboxes through the Gmail API, Microsoft Graph or IMAP with the narrowest scope that works, syncs incrementally with UIDs or historyId, and records every processed message in a ledger so reruns never double-act. A bundled parser extracts bodies and sanitized attachments and applies RFC 3834-style rules so auto-replies skip newsletters, bounces and other bots.

PDF skills FAQ

What is the best Claude Code skill for PDF?

Start with HTML to PDF: Print CSS that breaks pages where you meant. Then add PDF Toolkit and Invoice Generation, which cover the next most common PDF requests.

How do I install all 12 PDF skills at once?

Pass every name to the installer in one command: curl -fsSL https://claudeskills.page/install.sh | sh -s -- html-to-pdf pdf-toolkit invoice-generation ocr-scans document-extraction-llm markdown-publishing document-redaction report-automation latex-documents mermaid-diagrams paper-analysis email-automation. Add --project to install them into the current repository's .claude/skills/ folder so your team gets them too.

Do these PDF skills work outside Claude Code?

Yes. Each skill uses only the portable Agent Skills frontmatter, so the same folder works on claude.ai, through the Claude API and in the Agent SDK. Skills that run bundled scripts need an environment with code execution.
