What this skill does

PDF Processing Guide Overview Extract text/tables, create PDFs, merge/split files, fill forms using Python libraries and command-line tools. Apply this skill for programmatic document processing and analysis. For advanced features or form filling, consult reference.md and forms.md. Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication. If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams: Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text. How to generate schematics: The AI will automatically: Create publication-quality images with proper formatting Review and refine through multiple iterations Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast) Save outputs in the figures/ directory When to add schematics: PDF processing workflow diagrams Document manipulation flowcharts Form processing visualizations Data extraction pipeline diagrams Any complex concept that benefits from visualization For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation. …
