中文

Setup for Codex

Codex with the official PDF skill, a disposable output directory, and the PDF tools named in the skill. ReportLab creates a simple report and Poppler can render or extract it.

  1. In Codex, open the skill-installer and ask to install pdf from the official OpenAI curated skills catalog.
  2. Restart the session so the skill is available. Install the documented optional PDF utilities to render or extract the generated output.
  3. Use the PDF skill in a scratch project with a local source table and an explicit output name.

Example task

Supply a mock table with West 30 and East 20. Create a one-page monthly-report.pdf with those figures and a total of 50, then render the first page and check extracted text.

Expected result

The file opens, both regions and 50 are readable, and the first page shows the title and table without clipped labels.

Frequently asked question

How can I validate that a PDF export matches its inputs?

Check the extracted values against the input table and render the final page to catch clipping and text layout problems.
