PDF

Read, analyze & merge PDFs

PDF lets you read, analyse, and merge PDF documents from any public URL — no uploading to third-party services, no file size wrestling. Summarise research papers, extract financial figures from annual reports, review contract clauses, or combine multiple documents into one — all from a single tool.

The analyse skill uses AI to answer specific questions about a document's content. Instead of reading a 200-page report yourself, you can ask it to pull all revenue figures into a table, flag unusual contract clauses, or summarise the methodology section. Page-range filtering lets you target exactly the section you need, keeping costs low and responses sharp.

What you can do

  • Extract raw text from any PDF for searching, quoting, or downstream processing
  • Ask AI to summarise, analyse, or extract specific information from a document
  • Get PDF metadata — page count, author, title, file size, creation date — without reading the content
  • Merge 2 to 20 PDFs into one combined document
  • Filter any skill to specific pages with ranges like "1-10" or "3,7,12-15"

Who it's for

Researchers, analysts, lawyers, finance professionals, and anyone who regularly works with PDF documents. Useful for digesting academic papers, reviewing contracts, extracting data from reports, and building document processing workflows.

How to use it

  1. Use get_info to check page count and metadata before committing to a full read
  2. Use extract_text to pull raw content for searching or passing to another tool
  3. Use analyze with a specific prompt — "extract all revenue figures as a table" gets much better results than "summarise"
  4. Use merge to combine multiple PDFs into one downloadable file
  5. Add the pages parameter to any skill to target a specific section of a large document

Use `extract_text` with a `pages` range such as `1-10` or `3,7,12-15` when you only need a section of the document.

Can I ask a specific question about a PDF?

Yes. `analyze` accepts a prompt like 'extract the revenue figures into a table' or 'summarize the key findings' and returns an AI-written answer.
