pdf-processing-pro

Production-ready PDF processing with forms, tables, OCR, validation, and batch operations. Use when working with complex PDF workflows in production environments, processing large volumes of PDFs, or requiring robust error handling and validation. Do NOT use for simple text extraction - use pdf-extract for quick reads.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
14 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by henkisdabro on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Pdf Processing Pro AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/henkisdabro/wookstar-claude-plugins.git /tmp/wookstar-claude-plugins
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/wookstar-claude-plugins/plugins/documents/skills/pdf-processing-pro .claude/skills/pdf-processing-pro

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Pdf Processing Pro in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Pdf Processing Pro on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Pdf Processing Pro is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

    print(text)

Analyse PDF form (using included script)

bash
python scripts/analyze_form.py input.pdf --output fields.json
# Returns: JSON with all form fields, types, and positions

Fill PDF form with validation

bash
python scripts/fill_form.py input.pdf data.json output.pdf
# Validates all fields before filling, includes error reporting

Extract tables from PDF

bash
python scripts/extract_tables.py report.pdf --output tables.csv
# Extracts all tables with automatic column detection

Features

Production-ready scripts

Error handling with detailed messages and proper exit codes
Input validation, type checking, and configurable logging
Full type annotations and CLI interface (--help on all scripts)

Comprehensive workflows

PDF forms, table extraction, OCR processing
Batch operations, pre/post-processing validation

Advanced topics

PDF form processing

Complete form workflows including field analysis, dynamic filling, validation rules, multi-page forms, and checkbox/radio handling. See references/forms.md.

Table extraction

Complex table extraction including multi-page tables, merged cells, nested tables, custom detection, and CSV/Excel export. See references/tables.md.

OCR processing

Scanned PDFs and image-based documents including Tesseract integration, language support, image preprocessing, and confidence scoring. See references/ocr.md.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pdf Processing Pro AI skill do?

Why use Pdf Processing Pro on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Pdf Processing Pro is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Pdf Processing Pro in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/henkisdabro/wookstar-claude-plugins/tree/main/plugins/documents/skills/pdf-processing-pro. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Pdf Processing Pro?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Pdf Processing Pro?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Pdf Processing Pro with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Pdf Processing Pro AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by henkisdabro. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
