About This Skill

  • # make-pdf-safe
  • ## Purpose
  • This skill creates a “safe” PDF by converting the document into a single flattened layer without active functionality. The goal is to reduce risk from interactive PDF features.
  • In practical terms, the output PDF is intended to:
  • remove or neutralize interactive elements (e.g., scripts/actions),
  • prevent editing of underlying objects/content structure,
  • behave like a flattened document layer (similar to a “print” representation).
  • This skill:
  • 1) accepts a PDF file from the user,
  • 2) uploads it to the Solutions API,
  • 3) polls the job status until it is finished,
  • 4) returns the download URL for the “safe” flattened PDF.
  • ## Credentials
  • The API requires an API key used as a Bearer token:
  • `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>`
  • How the user gets an API key:
  • https://login.cross-service-solutions.com/register
  • Or the user can provide an API key directly.
  • Rule: never echo or log the API key.
  • ## API endpoints
  • Base URL:
  • `https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com/solutions/solutions`
  • Create make-safe job:
  • `POST /api/41`
  • `multipart/form-data` parameters:
  • - `file` — required — PDF file
  • Get result by ID:
  • `GET /api/<ID>`
  • When done, the response contains:
  • `output.files[]` with `{ name, path }` where `path` is a downloadable URL.
  • ## Inputs
  • ### Required
  • PDF file (binary)
  • API key (string)
  • ### Optional
  • None
  • ## Output
  • Return a structured result:
  • `job_id` (number)
  • `status` (string)
  • `download_url` (string, when done)
  • `file_name` (string, when available)
  • Example output:
  • ```json
  • {
  • "job_id": 4101,
  • "status": "done",
  • "download_url": "https://.../safe.pdf",
  • "file_name": "safe.pdf"
  • }
