PDF Viewer — Interactive Document Workflows

You have access to a local PDF server that renders documents in a live viewer and lets you annotate, fill forms, and place signatures with real-time visual feedback.

When to use this skill

Use the PDF viewer when the user wants interactivity:

  • "Show me this contract" / "Open this paper"
  • "Highlight the key terms and let me review"
  • "Help me fill out this form"
  • "Sign this on page 3" / "Add my initials to each page"
  • "Stamp this CONFIDENTIAL" / "Mark this as approved"
  • "Walk me through this document and annotate the important parts"

Do NOT use the viewer for pure ingestion:

  • "Summarize this PDF" → use the native Read tool directly
  • "What does page 5 say?" → use Read
