Extracts text, tables, and metadata from PDF files, and merges or annotates PDFs. One of the document skills that power Claude's own document capabilities in Claude.ai and the API.

## Install

### claude-code

```
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills
```

Installs the whole plugin (a small bundle of related skills); this one loads automatically once the plugin is installed, no separate step needed.
