Claude skills for PDF: before you install one
Is there a Claude skill for PDF?
There are 473 of them, spread over 253 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: pdf (anthropics/skills, ★ 185k), convert pdf to md (github/awesome-copilot, ★ 41k) and hive.pdf (aden-hive/hive, ★ 11k). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.
How do I install a Claude skill for PDF?
For PDF, take the pdf folder from anthropics/skills (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. In the Claude apps, zip that folder and upload it as a custom skill in settings.
Are all these PDF skills in English?
No: 8 of those listed, such as PDF Processing Pro and pdf analysis, are written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the PDF task is the same. Claude can follow them either way, but read them before you install.
Should I use a skill or an MCP server for PDF?
A skill teaches Claude a way of working; an MCP server gives it new tools, like access to PDF itself. We list 342 MCP servers for PDF if you need the connection.
Is there an official Anthropic skill for PDF?
Yes: pdf and canvas design come from Anthropic's own skills repository. The other 471 are community-made.
Can I use these PDF skills at work?
Of the 50 PDF skills listed here, 33 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and 12, such as pdf and PDF Processing Pro, state no licence at all, which legally means you may not reuse them. Check the licence file before you copy one into company work.
