PDF Skill

Use this skill when the user attaches or references a PDF and asks to read, summarize, extract, compare, translate, inspect, or answer questions about it.

Inputs

Kivio stores each uploaded file as a safe local copy and includes its absolute path in the user message under Kivio 安全副本路径. Use that host path with bash. You can also process any local PDF discovered via glob / read (directory listing).

read does not parse binary PDFs.

Workflow

1. Identify the PDF path from the attachment note or a local search.
2. If the host has a PDF tool (pdftotext, python with pypdf, OfficeCLI, etc.), extract text with bash. For a multi-line script, write it first, then run it — do not cram quoted code into python -c.
3. If no PDF tool is installed, say so and stop guessing. Do not invent document contents from the filename.
4. If extraction returns little text, the PDF may be scanned/image-only — ask for OCR or use Lens.
5. For long PDFs, extract page-level text first, then summarize by section/page before answering.

Output

• For summaries: include the main points and mention any pages/sections you used when available.
• For extraction: preserve original order and tables/lists as much as practical.
• For analysis: quote only short snippets and explain conclusions separately.
