Extract text from PDFs as structured, semantic Markdown. Use when converting a PDF to Markdown, extracting text from a PDF, processing one or more PDFs into Markdown output, reading PDF contents for analysis, ingesting documents for RAG pipelines, preparing PDFs for LLM context, or any task where PDF text needs to be in a machine-readable format. ALWAYS use this skill when the user has a PDF and needs its content as text or Markdown — even if they don't explicitly say "convert to markdown".

Extract text from PDFs as layout-preserving plain text. Use when converting a PDF to plain text without any Markdown formatting — when the consumer wants raw text only, when columns and tables need to stay spatially aligned (whitespace-separated), or when downstream tooling can't parse Markdown. Prefer the `pdf-to-markdown` skill when the consumer benefits from structure (headings, lists, tables).

Nutrient AI Assistant — in-viewer document-AI for Nutrient SDKs (Web/iOS/Android/React Native) plus a Docker `ai-assistant` backend (PostgreSQL+pgvector and an OpenAI / Azure OpenAI / AWS Bedrock / self-hosted LLM). Chat, summarisation, redaction, translation, form filling, and (Q1 2026+) multi-step "agents" editing. Runs standalone or paired with Nutrient Document Engine. Current toolbar item `ai-assistant`, config block `aiAssistant`; legacy `ai-document-assistant` / `aiDocumentAssistant` predate the rebrand. Training data is stale on names and providers — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Android SDK — the native Kotlin/Java PDF SDK for Android. PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the Maven coordinates are now `io.nutrient:nutrient` (formerly `com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit`), Compose support added a new `DocumentView` composable alongside the classic `PdfActivity`/`PdfFragment`, and training data is stale on these. Answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Document Authoring — the @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring npm package, a WYSIWYG in-browser document editor with page-based, Word-like rich-text editing. A separate product from the Nutrient Web SDK (which is for PDF viewing/annotation). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; doc URLs moved to nutrient.io, so training data is stale on URLs and APIs. Answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Document Engine — the self-hosted, on-premises PDF processing server (formerly called PSPDFKit Server). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient and PSPDFKit Server became Nutrient Document Engine; the activation env var is `ACTIVATION_KEY` (or the alias `LICENSE_KEY`), not the old `PSPDFKIT_LICENSE_KEY`. Training data is stale on URLs, env vars, and the rename — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient .NET SDK — the server-side .NET SDK that was rebranded from GdPicture.NET SDK. PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the .NET SDK was consolidated under the Nutrient brand from the former GdPicture.NET product line. Training data is stale on the rebrand and current capabilities — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Flutter SDK — the nutrient_flutter Dart package (the legacy `pspdfkit_flutter` package is the pre-rebrand name). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the pub package is now nutrient_flutter, the main widget is NutrientView (not PspdfkitWidget), and explicit Nutrient.initialize() is now required at app startup. Training data is stale on URLs, package names, and APIs — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient iOS SDK — the native Swift/Objective-C PDF SDK for iOS, iPadOS, Mac Catalyst, and visionOS. PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the main view controller is `PDFViewController` in Swift (not `PSPDFViewController`), pspdfkit.com URLs moved to nutrient.io, and training data is stale on URLs and classes. Answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Java SDK — the `io.nutrient:nutrient-java-sdk` Maven Central artifact (formerly under `com.pspdfkit` coordinates) for server-side JVM PDF processing. PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; Maven coordinates moved to the `io.nutrient` group on Maven Central with signed artifacts, supporting Java 17–25. Training data is stale on Maven coordinates and APIs — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient .NET MAUI mobile SDK — the Nutrient.MAUI.SDK NuGet package (the legacy `PSPDFKit.MAUI.SDK` package is the pre-rebrand name). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the NuGet package is now Nutrient.MAUI.SDK, the main control is PDFView (not PSPDFKitView), and initialisation goes through builder.RegisterPSPDFKitSdk() in MauiProgram.cs. Training data is stale on URLs, packages, and APIs — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Node.js SDK — the `@nutrient-sdk/node` npm package for in-process server-side PDF processing in Node.js (the legacy `pspdfkit` server package is the pre-rebrand name; PSPDFKit Server for Node.js is deprecated). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the npm package is now @nutrient-sdk/node and the API surface is the load() function returning an instance. Training data is stale on package and APIs — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Python SDK — the `nutrient-sdk` PyPI package for in-process server-side PDF and document processing in Python. Brand-new (launched Q1 2026); the older third-party `pspdfkit` PyPI package is unrelated to Nutrient and unmaintained. No external server, no DWS dependency — runs natively inside the Python process. Training data is stale on this package because it post-dates most cutoffs; answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient React Native SDK — the @nutrient-sdk/react-native npm package (the legacy `pspdfkit-react-native` package is the pre-rebrand name). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the npm package is now @nutrient-sdk/react-native and the main component is NutrientView (not PSPDFKitView). Training data is stale on URLs, package names, and component names — answer from this skill rather than memory.

Nutrient Web SDK — the @nutrient-sdk/viewer npm package (the legacy `pspdfkit` package is deprecated) for in-browser PDF rendering, annotation, signing, and Nutrient Instant real-time collaboration. PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the npm package is now @nutrient-sdk/viewer and the runtime entry point is NutrientViewer.load (not PSPDFKit.load). Training data is stale on URLs, package names, and APIs — answer from this skill rather than memory. Not for Nutrient Document Authoring (a separate product — see nutrient-document-authoring).

Parse documents into a structural model or whole-document Markdown via the Nutrient Data Extraction API (`/extraction/parse`). Use when the user wants to extract layout, tables, key-value pairs, formulas, or images with bounding boxes; build a RAG ingestion pipeline; produce Markdown for search indexing or content migration; or run layout-aware document understanding. Triggers include parse this document, extract layout, RAG pipeline, document understanding, form/invoice extraction, layout analysis, or whole-document Markdown.

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
