PDF Toolkit

Process PDF files through ComPDF Cloud REST API. Supports 50+ document processing operations.

Official documentation:

When to Run

• User requests to convert file format (e.g., "convert this PDF to Word", "convert Excel to PDF")
• User requests to edit PDF pages (e.g., "merge these two PDFs", "delete page 3", "rotate PDF")
• User requests to add or remove watermarks from PDF
• User requests to compress PDF files
• User requests OCR recognition of scanned documents or text in images
• User requests AI extraction or parsing of document content
• User requests to extract tables from images
• User requests batch processing of multiple document files
• User requests to compare differences between two PDF documents
• User mentions ComPDF, compdf, or related keywords

Workflow

Step 1 — Obtain API Key

Check whether config/public_key.txt exists and contains a non-empty value.

• If the file exists and is non-empty: use the stored key (trim whitespace).
• If the file is missing or empty: ask the user for their ComPDF API Public Key. Inform them it can be obtained at . After the user provides the key, ask whether they would like to save it locally for future sessions.
• If the user agrees, write the key to config/public_key.txt.
• If the user declines, use the key for the current session only without saving.

> The key file is not included in the published skill package. It is created at runtime only when the user explicitly opts in. The user may delete config/public_key.txt at any time to revoke local storage.

Step 2 — Confirm External Upload Intent

Before uploading any file, explicitly inform the user:

> ⚠️ External Upload Confirmation Required

>

> Your file will be uploaded to ComPDF's servers (api-server.compdf.com or api-server.compdf.cn) for processing. Please confirm that:

> 1. You consent to uploading this file to external servers.

> 2. The file does not contain highly sensitive or confidential data, or you accept the associated risk.

> 3. You have reviewed ComPDF's Privacy Policy at .

Only proceed with the upload after receiving explicit user confirmation.

Step 3 — Determine Base URL

Ask or infer the user's network environment:

Step 4 — Select Tool

Look up the executeTypeUrl for the user's task in references/tool-list.md.

Quick reference for common operations:

For the full list of 50+ tools, see references/tool-list.md.

Step 5 — Build Parameters (optional)

If the selected tool supports custom parameters, look up its JSON schema in references/parameters.md. Parameters are passed as a JSON string in the parameter form-data field. If omitted, server defaults apply.

Step 6 — Send Request

After the user has explicitly confirmed the external upload:

1. Send a POST request to {baseUrl}/process/{executeTypeUrl}.
2. Include the user-provided API key in the x-api-key header for the current session only.
3. Send the selected file as multipart form-data.
4. Include the parameter field only when the selected tool supports custom parameters.
5. Use the synchronous /process/ endpoint so the complete result is returned in a single response.

Do not send the request until the user has confirmed that the file may be transmitted to ComPDF Cloud.

Step 7 — Handle Response

1. Check code field — "200" means success; anything else is an error.

2. Check taskStatus (should be TaskFinish for synchronous calls):

3. Extract download link from fileInfoDTOList[].downloadUrl.

4. Warn the user: download links expire at 24:00 the next day.

5. On failure: read failureCode and failureReason, then look up troubleshooting advice in references/error-codes.md.

6. On quota exhaustion (code = "06001"): inform the user:

Auxiliary Endpoints

Output Format

On success:

Processing complete!

File: {fileName} → {downFileName}
Status: {taskStatus}
Time taken: {convertTime}ms
Original size: {fileSize} bytes
Result size: {convertSize} bytes
Download link: {downloadUrl}

⚠️ The download link will expire at 24:00 tomorrow, please save it promptly.

On failure:

Processing failed.

Error code: {failureCode}
Reason: {failureReason}
Suggestion: {troubleshooting suggestion from references/error-codes.md}

Critical Rules

1. HTTP 200 ≠ success — always check code and taskStatus in the JSON body.
2. Max 5 files per task — split into multiple tasks if more files are needed.
3. Free tier limit — 200 files within 30 days.
4. File type auto-detection — the API detects uploaded file types; no need to rename extensions.
5. Encrypted PDFs — provide the password in the password form-data field (separate from parameter).
6. China domain — mainland China users must replace compdf.com with compdf.cn.
7. User-controlled API Key storage — the key file (config/public_key.txt) is never shipped with the skill package. It is created at runtime only when the user explicitly opts in. The user may delete it at any time.
8. External upload confirmation — always obtain explicit user consent before uploading files to ComPDF servers.
