Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionpdf-creatorExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches pdf-creator from daymade/claude-code-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate pdf-creator. Access via /pdf-creator in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Create professional PDF documents from markdown with Chinese font support and theme system.
# Default theme (formal: Songti SC + black/grey)
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md output.pdf
# Warm theme (training: PingFang SC + terra cotta)
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md --theme warm-terra
# No weasyprint? Use Chrome backend (auto-detected if weasyprint unavailable)
python scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md --theme warm-terra --backend chrome
# List available themes
python scripts/md_to_pdf.py --list-themes dummy.md
Stored in themes/*.css. Each theme is a standalone CSS file.
| Theme | Font | Color | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
default |
Songti SC + Heiti SC | Black/grey | Legal docs, contracts, formal reports |
warm-terra |
PingFang SC | Terra cotta (#d97756) + warm neutrals | Course outlines, training materials, workshops |
To create a new theme: copy themes/default.css, modify, save as themes/your-theme.css.
The script auto-detects the best available backend:
| Backend | Install | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
weasyprint |
pip install weasyprint |
Precise CSS rendering, no browser needed | Requires system libs (cairo, pango) |
chrome |
Google Chrome installed | Zero Python deps, great CJK support | Larger binary, slightly less CSS control |
Override with --backend chrome or --backend weasyprint.
uv run --with weasyprint scripts/batch_convert.py *.md --output-dir ./pdfs
Chinese characters display as boxes: Ensure Chinese fonts are installed (Songti SC, PingFang SC, etc.)
weasyprint import error: Run with uv run --with weasyprint or use --backend chrome instead.
Chrome header/footer appearing: The script passes --no-pdf-header-footer. If it still appears, your Chrome version may not support this flag — update Chrome.
