PDF Tools - Fill, Sign, Merge, Split, Extract
A local PDF workflow for Claude Desktop: fill forms, sign/date PDFs, fetch PDF URLs, merge/split files, extract data, and analyze documents.
PDF Tools turns Claude Desktop into a complete local PDF workstation. Instead of just opening a PDF, Claude can fetch PDFs from URLs, inspect them visually, fill forms, manage pages, add signature/date zones, apply local signatures or text, extract structured data, and analyze document content without uploading files to a web app.
This package targets Claude Desktop and other local MCP hosts today. It does not yet include a remote Claude/Cowork connector.
Interactive PDF Viewer:
• View PDFs with page navigation, zoom, search, text selection, and fullscreen
• See form fields in a sidebar with fill status
• Use visual page management to reorder, rotate, and remove pages before saving
• Switch into Sign mode to work with signature/date zones on the PDF
Sign Mode & Local Signatures:
• Detect signature, initials, and date zones with visible coordinates Claude can reason from
• Draw or reuse saved local signatures
• Place signatures, dates, or other text on detected or custom zones
• Inspect a region, preview it, and turn it into a typed signing zone when the automatic detector is not enough
• Keep edits local, with active-document tracking and automatic backup behavior for same-file mutations
URL-to-PDF Workflows:
• Fetch PDFs from HTTP(S) URLs to the user's local machine, including cases where Claude's WebFetch is blocked
• Open downloaded PDFs immediately in the viewer for fill, sign, page management, extraction, or analysis
• Use page-bounded reads, text search, page renders, and region renders instead of one brittle all-document operation
Forms & Reusable Profiles:
• Fill W-9s, 1099s, rental applications, waivers, and any fillable PDF
• Save personal or business details as reusable profiles
• List, load, and apply saved profiles so repeated forms take seconds instead of minutes
• Bulk fill many PDFs from CSV data and validate required fields before submission
Page Organization Tools:
• Merge multiple PDFs into one document
• Split PDFs by exact page ranges or regular intervals
• Rotate and reorder pages, or apply a full page plan in one pass
• Keep the original intact by saving organized output as a new file
Extraction, Rendering & Analysis:
• Read document text for summarization, question answering, and research workflows
• Read specific page ranges and search PDF text with page-numbered snippets
• Render full pages or bounded regions to PNG for visual reasoning on scanned or image-heavy documents
• Extract structured data to CSV
• Inspect page-level details like orientation, text presence, images, and likely blank pages
• Review metadata such as page count, dimensions, form fields, and file size
Local-first and user-controlled: PDFs, saved profiles, and signatures stay on the user's machine. Claude Desktop users choose which folders PDF Tools may read from or write to.
Works with many PDF types: Forms, contracts, research papers, technical manuals, invoices, financial statements, scanned documents, municipal packets, and encrypted PDFs.
Best for: People who need more than a viewer — operators processing forms, lawyers organizing contracts, accountants handling tax documents, researchers reviewing papers, and anyone who wants local PDF workflows without sending files to a web app.
