pdf-to-markdown

Convert PDF files to clean Markdown offline and deterministically, with tables (ruled and borderless/booktabs) and sidebars placed inline and PDF metadata stripped. Use whenever the user wants a PDF turned into Markdown or text, wants a paper/report/scan extracted, asks what is in a PDF, or mentions pdf2md or pdf-to-md-transformer. Handles scanned PDFs via Tesseract OCR.

What does this entry provide?

pdf-to-markdown is an agent skill entry in ChatHome Skills, sourced from GitHub Skill Search and scored 48/100. # PDF to Markdown Converts PDFs to GitHub-flavoured Markdown with no network calls and no randomness — the same file and version always produce byte-identical o. As an agent skill, it packages a reusable instruction set that AI coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code can load to perform this task without hand-written glue code. ChatHome Skills discovered this entry through its daily ingest of official registries and GitHub discovery queries, and re-verifies repository facts, freshness signals, and install metadata on every run. The quality score weighs official-registry presence, a working install command, license clarity, GitHub star trajectory, and repository freshness — the full formula is on the Sources page. The install command above is ready to copy. Review the last-pushed date and repository status before adding pdf-to-markdown to a production agent workflow; the snapshot facts below are point-in-time values from the most recent ingest.

How is this score calculated?

Weighted across six dimensions, scored 0-100.
Provenance (25): listed in an official or curated registry.
Installability (25): a runnable install command beats a declared transport, which beats a source checkout.
Maintenance (20): recency of the last push; archived entries score zero here.
Adoption (20): repository stars on a log curve.

Scan coverage: Install metadata and the indexed document body.

Automated signals from install metadata and a bounded skill body — not a full code security audit and not a recursive source or dependency review.
