# Send PDF.co to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### PDF.co

Access the PDF.co API with managed authentication. Convert, merge, split, and edit PDFs with full document manipulation capabilities.

### Quick Start

# Get PDF info
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'url': 'https://example.com/sample.pdf'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/pdf-co/v1/pdf/info', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/pdf-co/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual PDF.co API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.pdf.co and automatically injects your API credentials.

### Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

### Getting Your API Key

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
Go to maton.ai/settings
Copy your API key

### Connection Management

Manage your PDF.co connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

### List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=pdf-co&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'pdf-co'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "pdf-co",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete authorization.

### Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple PDF.co connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'url': 'https://example.com/sample.pdf'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/pdf-co/v1/pdf/info', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

For large files or batch operations, use async processing:

Content-Type: application/json

{
  "url": "https://example.com/large1.pdf,https://example.com/large2.pdf",
  "async": true,
  "name": "merged.pdf"
}

Response:

{
  "jobId": "abc123",
  "status": "working",
  "error": false
}

Then poll the job status:

POST /pdf-co/v1/job/check
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "jobId": "abc123"
}

### JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/pdf-co/v1/pdf/merge',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': \`Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}\`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      url: 'https://example.com/doc1.pdf,https://example.com/doc2.pdf',
      name: 'merged.pdf'
    })
  }
);
const result = await response.json();
console.log(result.url);

### Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/pdf-co/v1/pdf/merge',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={
        'url': 'https://example.com/doc1.pdf,https://example.com/doc2.pdf',
        'name': 'merged.pdf'
    }
)
result = response.json()
print(result['url'])

### Notes

All file URLs must be publicly accessible or use PDF.co temporary storage
Multiple URLs for merge operations should be comma-separated
Page indices are 0-based (first page is 0)
Page ranges use format: 0-2 (pages 0,1,2), 3- (page 3 to end), 0,2,4 (specific pages)
Output files are stored temporarily and expire after 60 minutes by default
Use async: true for large files to avoid timeout
Use inline: true to get content directly in response instead of URL
IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

### Error Handling

StatusMeaning400Missing PDF.co connection or invalid request401Invalid or missing Maton API key429Rate limited4xx/5xxPassthrough error from PDF.co API

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with pdf-co. For example:

Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/pdf-co/v1/pdf/merge
Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/v1/pdf/merge
