README

pdfx — complete PDF toolkit (Claude Code skill)

A self-contained [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) / agent **skill** for *anything* PDF. Unlike typical `pdf` skills that only read or transform PDFs, **pdfx does both directions** — it also *produces* publication-quality PDFs from Markdown.

**One skill, two pillars.** Copy the `pdfx/` folder into any skills directory and it just works — bundled fonts, modular CLI scripts, reference guides. Depends on **no other skill**. Optional heavy engines auto-install on first use (or run `install.sh`).

A. Generate beautiful PDFs / ebooks (Markdown → PDF)

`Markdown → HTML (python-markdown + Pygments) → WeasyPrint → PDF` with published-grade print CSS:

Designed cover — optional AI art via Gemini (free-tier key), a pre-made image, or a gradient.
Auto-numbered TOC with dot leaders + real page numbers; optional depth-2 sub-entries.
Part dividers (--parts), a back-of-book A-Z index (--index), clickable PDF bookmarks.
Diagrams that actually render: inline (shielded from md_in_html) and ```mermaid fences auto-rendered to SVG (Vietnamese-safe labels).
Syntax-highlighted code, [B]/[I]/[A]/[!] badges, bundled Playfair Display + EB Garamond, A4/6×9, light/dark, --preview to auto-render page PNGs.
