Install

npx skills add PSPDFKit-labs/nutrient-agent-skill

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The skill gives the agent ready Python scripts for the cloud Nutrient DWS Processor API. The agent can generate and convert documents, assemble packets, OCR scans, extract content, redact personal data, watermark and digitally sign, password-protect, optimize and output PDF/A and PDF/UA. Before each run the agent shows the operation, the files to be sent and an estimated credit cost, then waits for approval. For deep parsing and accessibility it routes to separate Nutrient products.

Who it is for. For lawyers, accountants, operations teams and developers who handle a lot of PDFs.

Example request

OCR scanned-contract.pdf in English and save the text to a file

Limitations

Files are sent to Nutrient's cloud and operations consume paid credits. Requires NUTRIENT_API_KEY, Python 3.10 and uv. API availability from Russia is unverified.

How to disable. Delete the nutrient-document-processing folder from the agent's skills directory.

Security check

• Sends user documents to an external cloud API
• Operations spend paid credits

README in short

The README gives a three-step quick start: get a key, install the skill via npx skills and ask the agent. It lists requirements, supported agents and workflow walkthroughs: OCR of a scan, filling and signing a form, redacting personal data. Scripts pin the nutrient-dws client version and require confirmation. The skill is MIT-0 licensed.

  Process documents with Nutrient DWS Processor. Use for PDF generation and conversion, packet
  assembly, OCR, Processor JSON-content extraction, staged redaction, watermarking, signing,
  password protection, optimization, PDF/A, or PDF/UA output. Route high-fidelity markdown or
  spatial parsing to Nutrient Data Extraction, and accessibility auto-tagging/validation to Nutrient
  Accessibility instead of treating all three products as one API.

# Nutrient Document Processing

Use this skill for managed document processing where fidelity, compliance, or a multi-step workflow justifies transferring the user's files to Nutrient DWS.

## Product router

Choose the product before estimating cost or selecting credentials:

| Need | Product | Route used here |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Convert, generate, assemble, OCR, JSON-content extraction, redact, sign, optimize, PDF/A or PDF/UA output | **DWS Processor** | Pinned Python helpers in `scripts/` using `NUTRIENT_API_KEY` |
| High-fidelity document parsing to markdown or spatial JSON | **Data Extraction** | Separate `/extraction/parse` product, credential, and credit pool; use its current official client/docs |
| Accessibility auto-tagging and PDF/UA validation workflow | **Accessibility** | Separate current Accessibility API/product; do not use the deprecated Processor `/processor/pdfua` endpoint |

Do not reuse Processor cost estimates, credentials, or payloads for Data Extraction or Accessibility.

## Setup

- Get a Processor API key from <https://dashboard.nutrient.io/sign_up/?product=processor>.
- Configure `NUTRIENT_API_KEY` through the agent host's protected runtime environment or secrets manager. Never ask the user to paste the key into chat, and never put it in command arguments, logs, generated scripts, or committed configuration. Verify only that the variable is present, not its value.
