Open PDF
Display a PDF document in the live viewer. Use this when the user wants to see a document — not just extract its text.
Instructions
- If the user provides a URL or file path, call
display_pdfwith it - If no path given, call
list_pdfsfirst to show available documents - After displaying, offer next steps based on the document type:
- Contract / report → "Want me to highlight key sections or add review notes?"
- Form → "This has fillable fields — shall I help you fill it?"
- Academic paper → "Shall I walk through and annotate the key findings?"
Supported Sources
- Local files (paths or drag-and-drop into your working directory)
- arXiv (
arxiv.org/abs/...auto-converts to PDF URL) - Any direct HTTPS PDF URL (use the PDF link, not a landing page)
When NOT to use this
If the user just wants a summary or text extraction, do not open the viewer — use Claude's native Read tool on the PDF path instead. The viewer is for interactive, visual workflows.
