What this skill does

This skill changes the permission flags of a PDF (e.g., whether it can be printed, edited, or copied) by:

Why it matters

Handles the full upload-poll-download cycle automatically, so users get a modified PDF without needing local PDF tools or libraries.

Typical use cases

  • Locking a contract PDF to prevent editing before sending to a client
  • Allowing printing but blocking content extraction on a report
  • Restricting form filling on a finalized document
  • Enabling accessibility extraction while disabling general copy-paste
  • Preparing read-only PDFs for public distribution

Purpose

This skill changes the permission flags of a PDF (e.g., whether it can be printed, edited, or copied) by:

  1. accepting a PDF file from the user,
  2. accepting desired permission settings (true/false),
  3. uploading them to the Solutions API,
  4. polling the job status until it is finished,
  5. returning the download URL for the updated PDF.

Credentials

The API requires an API key used as a Bearer token:

  • Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>

How the user gets an API key:

Rule: never echo or log the API key.

API endpoints

Base URL:

  • https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com/solutions/solutions

Create permission-change job:

  • POST /api/75
  • multipart/form-data parameters:
    • file — required — PDF file
    • canModify — required — "true" or "false"
    • canModifyAnnotations — required — "true" or "false"
    • canPrint — required — "true" or "false"
    • canPrintHighQuality — required — "true" or "false"
    • canAssembleDocument — required — "true" or "false"
    • canFillInForm — required — "true" or "false"
    • canExtractContent — required — "true" or "false"
    • canExtractForAccessibility — required — "true" or "false"

Get result by ID:

  • GET /api/<ID>

When done, the response contains:

  • output.files[] with { name, path } where path is a downloadable URL.

Inputs

Required

  • PDF file (binary)
  • Permission flags (boolean-like), all required by API:
    • canModify
    • canModifyAnnotations
    • canPrint
    • canPrintHighQuality
    • canAssembleDocument
    • canFillInForm
    • canExtractContent
    • canExtractForAccessibility
  • API key (string)

Optional

  • None

Defaults (recommended)

If the user does not specify permissions, use a conservative default that disallows modification and extraction, but allows printing:

  • canModify: false
  • canModifyAnnotations: false
  • canPrint: true
  • canPrintHighQuality: true
  • canAssembleDocument: false
  • canFillInForm: true (reasonable default if forms exist)
  • canExtractContent: false
  • canExtractForAccessibility: true (often desirable for accessibility)

These defaults can be adjusted per product policy.

Output

Return a structured result:

  • job_id (number)
  • status (string)
  • download_url (string, when done)
  • file_name (string, when available)
  • permissions (object) reflecting the final values sent

Example output:

{
  "job_id": 7501,
  "status": "done",
  "download_url": "https://.../permissions.pdf",
  "file_name": "permissions.pdf",
  "permissions": {
    "canModify": false,
    "canModifyAnnotations": false,
    "canPrint": true,
    "canPrintHighQuality": true,
    "canAssembleDocument": false,
    "canFillInForm": true,
    "canExtractContent": false,
    "canExtractForAccessibility": true
  }
}
