FAQ
Questions about PDF Skill
Can it handle scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs may require OCR. The skill is strongest when text is embedded or OCR tools are available.
Why render the PDF before delivery?
Rendering catches page breaks, clipping, font issues, and spacing problems that text-only checks miss.
