Notes
- - Page numbers may be 0-based or 1-based depending on version — if the edit hits the wrong page, retry with ±1
- - Always verify the output PDF after editing (use
read_fileto check file size, or open it) - - The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check
nano-pdf --helpfor config) - - Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach
