make-pdf-safe
v1.0.0Flatten a PDF into a non-interactive “safe” version by uploading it to the Solutions API, polling until completion, then returning a download URL for the flattened PDF.
Installation
make-pdf-safe
Purpose
This skill creates a “safe” PDF by converting the document into a single flattened layer without active functionality. The goal is to reduce risk from interactive PDF features.
In practical terms, the output PDF is intended to: - remove or neutralize interactive elements (e.g., scripts/actions), - prevent editing of underlying objects/content structure, - behave like a flattened document layer (similar to a “print” representation).
This skill: 1) accepts a PDF file from the user, 2) uploads it to the Solutions API, 3) polls the job status until it is finished, 4) returns the download URL for the “safe” flattened PDF.
