nano-pdf

Use `nano-pdf` to apply edits to a specific page in a PDF using a natural-language instruction.

Quick Start

nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 1 "Change the title to 'Q3 Results' and fix the typo in the subtitle"

Creating a New PDF

nano-pdf create output.pdf "Create a one-page summary of quarterly results with a header, bullet points, and a footer"

Usage in SwarmClaw

When a user asks to create or edit a PDF:

1. Check if `nano-pdf` is installed: `which nano-pdf` 2. If not installed, install via `uv tool install nano-pdf` or `pip install nano-pdf` 3. Run the appropriate command 4. Report the output file path to the user

Notes

• Page numbers are 0-based or 1-based depending on the tool's version; if the result looks off by one, retry with the other.
• Always sanity-check the output PDF before reporting success.
• For multi-page edits, run separate commands per page.
