README

pdf-writer-mcp

日本語

MCP server that creates PDFs from text, Markdown, or tabular data and edits existing ones (metadata and page operations). Built on normativepdf — a clause-driven PDF library in which every behaviour is tied to an ISO 32000 clause — with CJK font embedding via harfbuzz subsetting.

Part of the PDF family alongside pdf-reader-mcp (structure analysis) and pdf-verify-mcp (authenticity verification). Where pdf-reader-mcp tells you what is in a PDF and pdf-verify-mcp tells you whether it is genuine, pdf-writer-mcp is the one that writes it.

Tools

[!IMPORTANT] All file paths must be absolute (since v0.7.0). Relative paths and paths containing .. are rejected — a relative path would resolve against the MCP host's working directory, which is not the directory you think it is. This applies to inputPath, inputPaths, outputPath, outputDir, fontPath and attachmentPath. Input PDFs larger than 100 MB are also rejected.

Creation

Tool	Purpose
`create_text_pdf`	Plain text — honours `\n`, blank lines separate paragraphs, long lines wrap
`create_markdown_pdf`	Markdown — headings, paragraphs, bullet/ordered lists, code blocks, quotes, rules, tables
`create_table_pdf`	Ruled tables — automatic column widths, cell wrapping, headers repeated across page breaks

Shared options: outputPath, returnBase64, fontPath, fontSize, pageSize (A4/A3/A5/LETTER/LEGAL), margin, title, drawTitle, author, onMissingGlyph, tagged, lang, pdfVersion.

PDF 2.0 output (v0.16.0)

Pass pdfVersion: "2.0" to write an ISO 32000-2 file. The default stays "1.7", and its bytes are unchanged.

The version is not only a header. ISO 32000-2 attaches two obligations to it, and both are met:

trailer /ID becomes Required (Table 15). Both elements are equal on a first write (R-14.4-6), and the value stays deterministic under SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
the Info dictionary keeps only CreationDate and ModDate (§14.3.3); the title, author and producer move to the XMP metadata stream, where PDF 2.0 says document metadata belongs.

{ "text": "Body.", "title": "Report", "pdfVersion": "2.0" }

With tagged: true, a 2.0 file declares PDF/UA-2 (ISO 14289-2) instead of PDF/UA-1, which allows only PDF 1.0 to 1.7 (ISO 14289-1 §6.1). See PDF/UA-2 below. Up to v0.26.x the combination was refused.

Tagged PDF / PDF/UA (v0.5.0)

Pass tagged: true to produce an accessible, tagged PDF conforming to PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289). Output is verified compliant by veraPDF (--flavour ua1, 106/106 rules).

{ "markdown": "# Title\n\nBody.", "title": "Report", "tagged": true, "lang": "en" }

Markdown maps onto the structure tree: headings → H1–H6, lists → L/LI/LBody, tables → Table/TR/TH/TD (headers get /Scope), quotes → BlockQuote, code → Code. Rules, borders and code backgrounds become artifacts. Under PDF/UA-1, heading levels are normalised so they start at H1 and never skip — a Markdown # → ### jump becomes H1 → H2 in the structure, while visual sizes stay as authored (PDF/UA-2 keeps the level as written; see below).

PDF/UA mandates a document title, so tagged: true requires title. The title is always written to the metadata (dc:title) and, by default, also drawn as the first H1. When the Markdown already starts with its own
