Design PDF
Design the reading experience and verify the exported pages. Use the client's PDF rendering and inspection capability, and use its editable-document capability when a Word source is requested. Load dedicated format skills when available. Keep the original source untouched unless the user requests an in-place edit.
Resolve every bundled relative path from the directory containing this SKILL.md; never interpret references/... or scripts/... from the user's project directory.
Choose the production route
- Editorial guide, report, workbook, or text-led document: use a reflow-capable source such as DOCX or structured HTML/CSS when it improves editing and pagination. Export to PDF only after source layout is stable.
- Designed fixed-layout guide or compact report: use structured HTML/CSS, SVG, or ReportLab with reusable page, frame, and type helpers. Avoid one-off coordinates scattered through the implementation.
- Poster, cover, or art-forward single page: use vector-first composition or a high-resolution raster workflow, with text kept editable until export.
- Existing PDF: inspect every page first. Rebuild only the pages that cannot be edited reliably, and disclose any loss of editability.
