# PDF Processing Guide

Merge, split, fill forms, pull text, all without leaving the chat

## What this does

You have a PDF that needs something: pages joined together, a form filled in, text pulled out of an old scan. Normally that means finding a different tool for each job.

### Top 3 things it does for you

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About PDF Processing Guide

When a PDF is involved, this handles it: reading and extracting text, tables and images, combining multiple files into one, splitting a file apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks and creating new PDFs.

It also covers the jobs people usually get stuck on: filling in PDF forms, encrypting or decrypting files, and running OCR over scanned pages so their contents become searchable.

Any time a .pdf file appears in what you are working on, or you need to produce one, this is the tool that steps in.

## Questions

### Is PDF Processing Guide safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of PDF Processing Guide and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 690f15cac7f7, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/pdf.

### How do I install PDF Processing Guide?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/pdf on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up.
