PDF Editor

READ AND EDIT PDFS

Change a PDF without it looking changed.

Replace text in the document's own font and position, fill forms, stamp watermarks, and read scans - then get the file back. Nothing to authorize.

Use built-in PDF reading to answer questions

Your assistant can already read an attached PDF. Use that when the goal is understanding the document - summarizing it, answering questions about it, or pulling figures out of it.

• Nothing to enable; just attach the file
• Best for one-off reading and Q&A

Choose PDF Editor to change the document

Use PDF Editor when the output is a modified PDF rather than an answer: corrected text, a watermark, filled form fields, or stripped metadata.

• Returns an edited PDF, not a description
• Preserves the original font, size, and layout

Decision signalIf you want to know what a PDF says, attach it. If you want a changed PDF back, use PDF Editor.

The document is uploaded through the MCP's own page rather than the chat attachment, because the protocol has no way to pass file bytes to a remote MCP server. See PDF Editor setup - there's nothing to configure, just enable it.
