What is minimax-pdf?
minimax-pdf is a high-fidelity document production skill designed for Openclaw Skills that prioritizes an HTML-first workflow to create reports, research papers, and structured technical documents. Unlike basic screenshot-based conversion tools, this skill ensures searchable text, predictable layouts, and stable pagination across Linux runtimes, making it ideal for professional deliverables.
The skill operates under a strict technical contract that favors print-academic aesthetics over web-dashboard styles. By utilizing standardized CSS page models and explicit markup labels, it avoids the common pitfalls of browser-based printing, ensuring that complex elements like multi-page tables, citations, and mathematical formulas render perfectly every time.
minimax-pdf Use Cases
- Generating professional business and technical reports with automated pagination.
- Creating academic-style research papers featuring IEEE numeric citations and verifiable references.
- Transforming and reformatting existing content into structured, searchable PDF documents.
- Building complex manuals that require precise cross-referencing and computed tables of contents.
- Automating the production of branded cover pages and data-dense tables for enterprise deliverables.
How minimax-pdf Works
- Intent Parsing: The skill first classifies the request into one of four pipelines: Build, Transform, Process Existing PDF, or LaTeX Compilation.
- Content Governance: It establishes language policies and outline preservation rules to ensure the output matches the user's structural intent.
- Blueprint Application: The system applies specific HTML/CSS blueprints designed for print, including overflow guards and A4 page model setups.
- Fidelity Guarding: Before conversion, the skill runs check-passes to validate image counts, hyperlink integrity, and anchor mapping.
- Conversion Execution: It utilizes the html_to_pdf entrypoint to generate the final document, ensuring all text remains selectable and searchable.
minimax-pdf Setup
To utilize minimax-pdf within the Openclaw Skills framework, ensure your environment is configured for the html_to_pdf conversion pipeline.
# Standard setup requires no manual Paged.js injection
# Ensure your HTML includes the required overflow guards:
pre, table, figure, img {
max-inline-size: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Direct your agent to use the html_to_pdf tool exclusively, avoiding any manual browser printing or screenshot-based hacks to maintain text quality.
minimax-pdf Data Schema & Taxonomy

| Element | Attribute | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
figcaption |
data-caption |
Explicitly labels figures (e.g., "Figure 1") to avoid CSS counter instability. |
caption |
data-caption |
Used for table numbering and accessibility. |
div.eq-block |
data-eq |
Manages explicit numbering for KaTeX mathematical formulas. |
a.citation |
href |
Links to specific reference IDs for citation integrity. |
nav.toc-sheet |
aria-label |
Defines the container for the auto-generated Table of Contents. |
minimax-pdf Advanced Features
- Print-Aware Pagination: Uses target-counter CSS logic to compute real page numbers for Tables of Contents and in-text references.
- Full-Bleed Cover Templates: Advanced CSS grid layouts for professional cover pages with support for centered metadata and background layers.
- Academic Citation Engine: Native support for IEEE numeric styles with automated footnote positioning and reference list anchoring.
- Intelligent Layout Tuning: A prioritized adjustment guide that solves overflow or density issues by tuning line-heights and margins rather than aggressive font scaling.
- Math & Diagram Optimization: Integrated support for KaTeX auto-rendering and optimized static Mermaid diagram handling for stable print output.
