:::info The following is the complete skill definition that Hermes loads when this skill is triggered. This is what the agent sees as instructions when the skill is active. :::

nano-pdf

Edit PDFs using natural-language instructions. Point it at a page and describe what to change.

Prerequisites

bash
# Install with uv (recommended — already available in Hermes)
uv pip install nano-pdf

# Or with pip
pip install nano-pdf

Usage

bash
nano-pdf edit <file.pdf> <page_number> "<instruction>"

Examples

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

# Update a date on a specific page
nano-pdf edit report.pdf 3 "Update the date from January to February 2026"

# Fix content
nano-pdf edit contract.pdf 2 "Change the client name from 'Acme Corp' to 'Acme Industries'"

Notes

  • Page numbers may be 0-based or 1-based depending on version — if the edit hits the wrong page, retry with ±1
  • Always verify the output PDF after editing (use read_file to check file size, or open it)
  • The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check nano-pdf --help for config)
  • Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach
