PDF Reader

Uses pdfvision for cross-agent PDF extraction. pdfvision returns text with line breaks preserved, document metadata, per-page density, and optional rendered PNGs for multimodal models.

Prerequisite

npx pdfvision --version

Or install globally: npm install -g pdfvision. Requires Node.js >= 22.13.

Run npx pdfvision --help once before invoking — the flag set evolves (page selection, render output dir, layout / geometry / image-boxes opt-ins, etc.) and the help text is the source of truth for what the installed version supports.
