Questions

Can Claude merge PDFs?
Yes. Connect the PDF server to Claude or Cursor with one URL. Then ask in plain words. Merge, split, rotate and stamp PDFs by asking. Originals stay untouched. Free tier first, then Pro is $19 once.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
Not on the local install. It reads and writes files on your machine and makes no network request. The hosted URL is different. You send the file in the request and the server keeps it under your token for a limited time.
Can it read a scanned PDF?
No. There's no OCR. pdf_text tells you when a page is probably a scan.
Can it fill PDF forms?
No. It reads form field values but doesn't fill them.
