merge-pdf
Merge multiple user-provided PDF files by uploading them to Cross-Service-Solutions, polling until completion, then returning a download URL for the merged PDF.
Why use this skill?
Learn how to use the OpenClaw merge-pdf skill to combine multiple documents into one, handle secure API integrations, and automate your document workflow efficiently.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/crossservicesolutions/merge-pdfWhat This Skill Does
The merge-pdf skill acts as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent and the Cross-Service-Solutions document processing engine. It is designed to automate the consolidation of multiple PDF files into a single, cohesive document. When triggered, the skill securely transmits your provided PDF files to the remote API, manages the asynchronous polling process to check for completion, and delivers a final, high-quality downloadable URL directly to your chat interface. By handling the complexities of multipart file uploads and status tracking, this skill eliminates the manual overhead of using web-based PDF utilities.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your local environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI configured correctly. Run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/crossservicesolutions/merge-pdf
Once installed, ensure you have your API key ready from Cross-Service-Solutions. You can provide this to the agent during execution; the agent is specifically programmed to handle your credentials securely without exposing them in logs or chat history.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for administrative workflows that require document aggregation. Common use cases include:
- Combining individual invoices or expense receipts into a single monthly PDF report.
- Merging multiple chapters or academic paper drafts into one comprehensive file for submission.
- Consolidating scanned pages from a multi-part document into a single PDF entity.
- Creating document packets for legal or business presentations where order of operations is preserved based on input sequence.
Example Prompts
- "Please merge the three PDF files I just uploaded into a single document named 'Monthly_Report_Final.pdf' and provide the download link."
- "I need to combine my receipts. Here are the files: [File A], [File B], and [File C]. Use my saved API key to process this merge."
- "Can you take these PDFs and merge them? Here is my API key: [key_placeholder]. Please make sure the output order matches the order I provided them."
Tips & Limitations
- Security: Never share your API key in plain text if you are working in a shared environment; use the agent's secure input methods.
- Ordering: The merge-pdf skill respects the sequence in which you provide files. If a specific order is required, ensure your input files are presented to the agent in that exact sequence.
- Connectivity: Because the process involves uploading files and polling an external server, ensure you have a stable internet connection during the transaction.
- File Types: This skill is strictly designed for PDF documents; attempting to upload non-PDF files may result in a job rejection from the remote API.
