pdf-creator

PDF Creator is an Agent Skill for documents published in the majiayu000/claude-skill-registry repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Create PDF documents from markdown with proper Chinese font support using weasyprint. This skill should be used when converting markdown to PDF, generating formal documents (legal, trademark filings, reports), or when Chinese typography is required. Triggers include "convert to PDF", "generate PDF", "markdown to PDF", or any request for creating printable documents.
