Skill

The PDF Skill

Read, fill in, and create PDF files directly inside a Claude conversation.

No terminal neededOfficial

Published by the company that makes the product.

What it can access

Reads and writes files you explicitly attach or ask Claude to create in the current conversation or workspace. No network access of its own.

Security note

Built and published by Anthropic, so it runs inside Claude's existing safety and data boundaries. It changes what Claude can do with a file, not whether that file is safe to hand to Claude: do not upload a PDF of witness testimony to a red-tier chat plan. See the Claude entry in the tool catalogue.

Before you start

A Claude.ai account. No download, no Node.js, no Docker, no API key.

How to install

  1. Open claude.com/plugins in a web browser and sign in to Claude.
  2. Search for “PDF Skill”.
  3. Click Install. Claude can use it the next time you ask it to work with a PDF file.

How to remove it

  1. Open claude.com/plugins and sign in.
  2. Find “PDF Skill” under your installed plugins and click Remove. Nothing else to clean up.
