By name: pdf-to-markdown description: Convert PDFs into clean markdown through the hosted Skills runtime.
PDF to Markdown
Convert a PDF into clean, structured markdown using the hosted Skills runtime. The implementation runs remotely so local agent installs only need this usage contract; no parser source, scripts, or hosted runtime code is copied to the user's machine.
What It Does
- Extracts text, headings, lists, and tables from PDFs.
- Preserves useful page boundaries and source references.
- Cleans noisy extraction output into readable markdown.
- Supports selected page ranges for large documents.
- Uses the platform runtime for paid execution and billing.
Runtime
This is a premium remote skill. The hosted runtime handles extraction and cleanup after deterministic PDF processing. Agents should run it through Skills MCP or the CLI, not through copied local source.
Usage
skills run pdf-to-markdown --input ./report.pdf --output ./report.md
skills run pdf-to-markdown --input ./contract.pdf --pages 1-5,12 --preserve-pages
