Paperless PDF
Use this skill for local PDF inspection without talking to a Paperless server.
Commands
paperless pdf read ./document.pdf
paperless pdf info ./document.pdf
paperless --output json pdf info ./document.pdf
When to use
- Checking whether a PDF has extractable text
- Reading a PDF locally before upload
- Inspecting page count, filename, size, and embedded metadata
- Verifying a generated PDF in tests or scripts
Guidance
pdf read is text-first and intended for quick human or agent inspection.
pdf info is metadata-first and best with --output json in automation.
- These commands do not mutate the PDF.
