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.
