Convert PDFs into structured, semantic Markdown that preserves the document's logical structure — headings, tables, lists, and reading order — rather than producing flat text. This is significantly higher quality than reading a PDF directly with the `read` tool, which only extracts raw text without structure.

Before running any commands, set SKILL_DIR to the absolute path of the directory containing this SKILL.md file. Use $SKILL_DIR/bin/pdf-to-markdown in all commands below.
The $SKILL_DIR/bin/pdf-to-markdown wrapper automatically installs the platform-specific binary into ~/.local/share/nutrient/cli/ from the CDN. It caches the binary and only checks for updates every 6 hours, so subsequent runs are fast.
$SKILL_DIR/bin/pdf-to-markdown INPUT.pdf OUTPUT.md
If OUTPUT.md is omitted, the converter writes the Markdown to stdout instead.
For multiple files, pass directories instead of individual files. The converter processes all PDFs in the input directory in parallel, which is much faster than converting one at a time.
