What is make-pdf-safe?
The make-pdf-safe skill is a specialized tool designed to enhance document security by neutralizing interactive elements within PDF files. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, developers can programmatically convert complex PDFs into single-layered, "print-ready" versions that strip away potentially malicious scripts, hidden actions, and structural metadata that could pose a security threat.
This skill provides a bridge to the Solutions API, allowing AI agents to handle sensitive document processing tasks autonomously. It ensures that the output PDF behaves like a flattened document layer, preventing the editing of underlying objects and content structure while maintaining the visual integrity of the original file.
make-pdf-safe Use Cases
- Neutralizing potentially malicious scripts or active content in untrusted PDF attachments.
- Preparing documents for long-term archival where interactive features are no longer required.
- Preventing unauthorized editing of document structures by flattening all visual layers into a single representation.
- Automating document sanitization workflows within a secure AI agent environment using Openclaw Skills.
How make-pdf-safe Works
- The user provides a binary PDF file and a valid API key to the skill interface.
- The skill initiates a multipart/form-data POST request to the Solutions API endpoint.
- A background job is created on the server, and the skill receives a unique job identifier.
- The skill enters a polling loop, checking the job status at regular intervals until the process is marked as finished.
- Once complete, the skill extracts the secure download URL and file metadata from the response and returns it to the user.
make-pdf-safe Setup

make-pdf-safe Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill returns a structured JSON object representing the processing result. This data can be consumed by other tools in the Openclaw Skills pipeline:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| job_id | Number | The unique internal ID of the PDF flattening job |
| status | String | The current state of the process (e.g., "done") |
| download_url | String | The secure HTTPS URL where the safe PDF is hosted |
| file_name | String | The name of the generated non-interactive PDF file |
make-pdf-safe Advanced Features
- Integration with Cross-Service-Solutions for high-fidelity PDF flattening and sanitization.
- Asynchronous job polling logic that ensures the agent waits for completion without timing out.
- Secure token management that prevents the exposure of API keys in logs or echo commands.
- Cross-service compatibility, allowing the sanitized output to be piped into other Openclaw Skills for further processing.
