Convert to PDF

VerifiedCaution

Converts one or more documents (e.g., DOCX, PPTX) to PDF by uploading them to the Cross-Service-Solutions API, polling until completion, and returning downloadable PDF URLs (or a ZIP for multiple files). Use when you need reliable document-to-PDF conversion for single or batch files.

Automated summary

Converts one or more documents to PDF by uploading them to the Cross-Service-Solutions API, polling until the job finishes, then returning download URLs (or a ZIP for multiple files).

Strengths

  • Handles multiple files, potentially of different types, in a single job.
  • Automatically polls the asynchronous job until conversion completes.
  • Returns direct download URLs and a convenient ZIP when several PDFs are produced.
  • Structured output (job_id, status, files) that is easy to reuse.

Limitations

  • Requires an API key and depends on a third-party external service.
  • No local or offline conversion is possible.
  • The exact accepted input formats are not detailed in the skill.
When to use it

Use it when you need to quickly convert office documents to PDF through the API, either singly or in batches.

When not to use it

Avoid it for confidential files that must not leave the local environment, or when you lack access to the external service.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score80/100

This is a legitimate document-conversion workflow using network and file access, but external upload of user files and API-key handling justify caution. There is no destructive, obfuscated, or secret-exfiltrating behavior beyond the intended third-party provider upload.

Findings
  • •Uploads user-provided documents to a third-party API, so potentially sensitive file contents leave the local environment.
  • •Requires an API key sent as a Bearer token; the skill says not to log it, but credential handling still depends on the agent runtime.
  • •Returns provider-supplied download URLs without validation or integrity checks; users should verify the domain before downloading.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Convert two documents
Convert the attached report.docx and slides.pptx to PDF and give me the download URLs.
Single file conversion
Turn invoice.docx into a PDF using convert-to-pdf and return the download link.
Batch conversion to ZIP
Convert all the documents in this batch to PDF; if there are multiple outputs, return the ZIP download URL.

Purpose

This skill converts one or multiple documents to PDF by:

  1. accepting one or multiple input files from the user,
  2. uploading them to the Solutions API convert endpoint,
  3. polling the job status until it is finished,
  4. returning download URL(s) for the resulting file(s). If multiple files are converted, the output may contain multiple PDFs and/or a ZIP for download.

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 convert job:

  • POST /api/31
  • multipart/form-data parameters:
    • files (Dokument) — required — multiple files (multiple_files)
      • You can convert multiple files and different types into multiple PDFs.
      • Multiple files can be downloadable as a zip-file.

Get result by ID:

  • GET /api/<ID>

When done, the response contains:

  • output.files[] with { name, path } where path is a downloadable URL (PDFs and/or ZIP).

Inputs

Required

  • One or more input files (binary)
  • An API key (string)

Optional

  • None

Output

Return a structured result:

  • job_id (number)
  • status (string)
  • outputs (array) containing { name, path } for each output file
  • Convenience fields:
    • download_url (string) if exactly one output exists
    • download_urls (array of strings) for all outputs
  • input_files (array of strings)

Example output:

{
  "job_id": 789,
  "status": "done",
  "outputs": [
    { "name": "file1.pdf", "path": "https://.../file1.pdf" },
    { "name": "file2.pdf", "path": "https://.../file2.pdf" },
    { "name": "converted.zip", "path": "https://.../converted.zip" }
  ],
  "download_urls": [
    "https://.../file1.pdf",
    "https://.../file2.pdf",
    "https://.../converted.zip"
  ],
  "input_files": ["file1.docx", "file2.pptx"]
}

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/download' --output '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/convert-to-pdf' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt' '.claude/skills/convert-to-pdf'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt'

openskills read 'convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/convert-to-pdf-mmbizjmt/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
