What this skill does
PDF Creator Create professional PDF documents from markdown with Chinese font support and theme system. For an existing .docx source, use docx-creator/references/word-to-pdf.md instead. Choose by the authoritative input as well as the output suffix. When adapting a manufacturer PDF manual into a concise Chinese illustrated recipient guide, read the illustrated-manual workflow before drafting. Continue through this Skill's normal theme, backend and visual self-check requirements after assembling the Markdown source. For source changes, follow maintainer testing for the complete test environment and native-backend acceptance. Keep this source-checkout workflow separate from ordinary installed-Skill use. Quick Start Every scripts/… path below is relative to this skill's own directory — run the commands from there, or substitute the absolute path. Running them from the directory holding your markdown fails with Failed to spawn: 'scripts/mdtopdf.py'. Omitting the output path is allowed and derives it from the input's basename (input.md → input.pdf, in the input's directory). Keep relative image paths relative to the input Markdown file's directory. The converter uses that directory for both backends, including when its temporary HTML and the command's working directory are elsewhere. Themes Use --list-themes from Quick Start to read the available theme names and descriptions. Read themes/.css for page geometry, font stacks, colors and per-theme layout rules. To create a new theme: copy themes/default.css, modify, save as themes/your-theme.css. …
