# 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
|
|
|
|
1. If the user provides a URL or file path, call `display_pdf` with it
|
|
2. If no path given, call `list_pdfs` first to show available documents
|
|
3. 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.
