Quick brief
Use qpdf when an agent needs a bounded PDF preprocessing step instead of treating the tool like a generic document product. The practical invoke moment is before downstream extraction, OCR, review, or delivery: repair damaged files, split or merge pages, and normalize structure into a cleaner artifact. That scope boundary, PDF preprocessing and normalization before another workflow, is narrow enough to be skill-shaped rather than a plain utility listing.
