Setup
First-time (per device)
# Windows — run once per machine
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File setup.ps1
This installs SumatraPDF and LibreOffice via winget, runs pip, and guides you through entering your printer name.
Printer config
Edit config/printers.yaml:
default:
printer_name: "Your Printer Name" # get via: wmic printer get name
hosts:
YOUR-HOSTNAME:
printer_name: "Your Printer Name"
Preview workflow
Always offer a preview for layout-heavy requests (2-up, booklet, rotated):
from scripts.pdf_tools import preview_pdf
import shutil
previews = preview_pdf("output.pdf", dpi=150)
shutil.copy(previews[0], "preview.png")
# Tell user: "Preview saved as preview.png — click it in the file explorer."
What this skill cannot do
- Edit text inside a PDF → direct user to Acrobat
- Upscale images beyond native resolution
- Replace backgrounds generatively (only remove them)
- Wake the PC remotely over WiFi (WoL requires Ethernet)

Convert PDF to editable Word and automatically verify the conversion quality. Runs a four-way reconciliation (character count, table count, image count, table-cell count) plus a page-count reference after conversion, so content loss or redundancy is surfaced as evidence instead of guesswork. Use when the user asks to convert PDF to Word, convert PDF to docx, check conversion quality, verify a converted document, or worries that PDF-to-Word conversion dropped content.
