Work with PDFs in the viewer

Finds the right PDF, shows it in the viewer, and reads or edits it step by step. It asks before saving or changing anything in the document.

Use it when

You want to open a specific PDF and check what it says
A viewer call returned nothing or was refused and you need to know why
You are about to save changes and want to confirm what is pending first

Tools it uses

list_pdfs
read_pdf_bytes
display_pdf
interact
submit_viewer_state
submit_page_data
submit_save_data
poll_pdf_commands
save_pdf

Example

Open the Q3 contract in the viewer and tell me whether it has any pending changes before I save.

I found one document titled 'Q3 Services Agreement' and displayed it. There are 2 queued commands and staged data for 4 pages. I have not saved anything. Shall I save these changes, or would you like to review them first?

Read-only9 pdf-viewer tools

Read and annotate a PDF with AI

Opens a PDF in the viewer, reads its content and structure, and returns a summary and page-referenced notes without changing the file.

Use it when

You need the key points from a long report or contract.
You want figures, dates or names pulled out with their page numbers.
You need to find the section that covers a specific topic.

Tools it uses

list_pdfs
display_pdf
read_pdf_bytes
submit_viewer_state
save_pdf
submit_save_data
submit_page_data
interact
poll_pdf_commands

Example

Summarise the Q3 vendor contract and list every payment date with its page number.

The contract runs 14 pages, and I read all of them. It sets three payment dates: 1 March on page 4, 1 June on page 9 and 1 September on page 11. The June payment is marked as subject to renegotiation, so I have noted it as conditional. Pages 12 to 14 are signature blocks and were not summarised in detail.

Save changes to an open PDF

Reviews the pending edits in your open PDF, lists them with destructive changes first, and saves only the set you approve. It then re-reads the file to check the result.

Use it when

You have edited a PDF in the viewer and want the changes written to the file.
You want to see exactly what will be saved before committing, especially deletions or redactions.
A save finished and you want to confirm the file really contains the right edits.

Tools it uses

list_pdfs
submit_viewer_state
submit_page_data
poll_pdf_commands
save_pdf
submit_save_data
read_pdf_bytes
display_pdf

Example

Save the changes I made to contract.pdf, but show me the deletions first and only save what I approve.

I found 4 pending changes on contract.pdf: 1 page deletion (page 7), 2 text edits (pages 2 and 3) and 1 highlight (page 5). I've listed the deletion first; please confirm it and I'll save the edits. After saving I'll re-read the file to check page 7 is gone and the text edits are present.

How pdf-viewer skills work

Connect pdf-viewer
The pdf-viewer MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Summarise the Q3 vendor contract and list every payment date with its page number.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

pdf-viewer skills FAQ

What is a pdf-viewer agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each pdf-viewer skill describes one job, which pdf-viewer tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the pdf-viewer skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in pdf-viewer.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect pdf-viewer; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the pdf-viewer MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the pdf-viewer MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The pdf-viewer MCP setup guide covers every client.
