Builtin skill files live under /_builtin_skills/<name>/. User-installed skills live under /skills/<name>/.

Edit PDFs using natural-language instructions. Point it at a page and describe what to change.

Prerequisites

# Install with uv (recommended) or pip
uv pip install nano-pdf

# Or with pip
pip install nano-pdf

Usage

Examples

# Change a title on page 1
nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 1 "Change the title to 'Q3 Results' and fix the typo in the subtitle"

# Update a date on a specific page

Notes

• Page numbers may be 0-based or 1-based depending on version — if the edit hits the wrong page, retry with ±1
• Always verify the output PDF after editing (use read_file to check file size, or open it)
• The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check nano-pdf --help for config)
• Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach
