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_file to check file size, or open it)
• The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check nano-pdf --help for config)
• Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach
