# Render-PDF-Doc Skill

This skill handles layout only (CJK fonts, table column widths) with raw pandoc + xelatex — no
Quarto, whose `tbl-colwidths` has reported PDF regressions (issues 6089/9200). Not for: a
manuscript with a bibliography (`/manage-refs` `scripts/render_pandoc.sh`), an institutional .docx
form (`/fill-protocol`), the ICMJE COI form (`/fill-icmje-coi`), figures or PPTX (`/make-figures`,
`/present-paper`).

## Dependencies

Python 3 is required by the wrapper. FontTools is optional for the font-file
coverage check (`python3 -m pip install fonttools`).

```bash
