What do you want to do?

3 use cases

  • Check a translated PDF against its original page by page

    Run the audit script to compare page count, page size, clauses, numbers and placeholder wording.

    View prompt
    Use the pdf-translate repository to audit <translated.pdf> against <original.pdf>. Run scripts/audit_pdf.py with --json audit_report.json and --compare-png compare_png/, then summarize page count, page size, clause number, cross reference and number differences from the report. Confirm that the total page count matches before reporting anything else.

  • Turn a translated HTML layout into a vector PDF with overflow checks

    Render HTML with Playwright into a selectable, searchable PDF and stop if any page overflows.

    View prompt
    In the pdf-translate repository, render <input.html> to <output.pdf> using scripts/render_pdf.py with --strict-overflow. If the exit code is 2, edit the HTML to remove the reported page overflow and render again. Verify that output.pdf exists and has the expected page count before finishing.

  • Have an AI agent translate an official PDF and keep its layout

    Use the skill's two-stage SOP so an agent extracts clauses first, then renders and audits the result.

    View prompt
    Using the pdf-translate skill in .claude/skills/pdf-translate, translate <original.pdf> into <target language> while keeping its layout, following SKILL_EN.md. Render the HTML with scripts/render_pdf.py using --strict-overflow, then audit the output against <original.pdf> with scripts/audit_pdf.py using --strict and --json audit_report.json. Verify that the audit report shows matching page count and page sizes before you say the job is done.
