install-pdf

SkillDocs & knowledge

Install the light PDF parser (pdftext, ~50 MB) into an isolated venv. Covers most PDFs with fast, accurate text extraction. For complex layouts (tables, figures, scanned docs), use /rtfm:install-pdf-full instead.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the install-pdf skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by roomi-fields/rtfm in skills/install-pdf/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Install RTFM's light PDF parser by running this command via the Bash tool:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/rtfm-install-extras" pdf

After it completes, tell the user to restart Claude Code so the MCP server picks up the new extras venv, then run rtfm_sync (or wait for the next UserPromptSubmit hook) to actually index any PDFs in the project.

If the user has complex PDFs (tables, figures, scanned layouts), suggest /rtfm:install-pdf-full instead — that one pulls marker-pdf with a CPU-only torch build (~1.5 GB).
