Photo To Scanned PDF
Two pipelines ending at a scanner-look PDF. (1) Phone photos of paper documents (contracts, stamped certificates, receipts, forms, handwritten notes) → clean scanner-quality PDF: perspective rectification + noteshrink whitening + A4 assembly + mandatory whole-document check. Trigger: "把照片 做成扫描件", "photos to scanned PDF", "make this look scanned", "手机拍的 文档转 PDF", "盖章文件扫描", replacing pages in an existing scanned PDF, any CamScanner-like request. (2) A digital document with no signature yet (rendered docx/PDF, confirmation form, contract draft) → make it look hand-signed and scanned: synthesize a handwriting-style signature, composite it onto the signature line, apply the same scan-look post-processing. Trigger: "帮我做个手写签名", "生成签名盖到这份文件上", "做成签过字的扫描件", "synthesize a signature", any request for a document that needs to look signed without a real photographed signature. Do NOT hand-roll levels/contrast enhancement for scan-look — tried and rejected twice; this skill's pipeline is the proven one.

From the source SKILL.md
Two related pipelines, same destination look, different starting point: phone photos of paper documents, or a digital document that needs a synthetic signature before it looks signed. The pipelines that work, and the failure modes that ship wrong PDFs if skipped.
photos ──► rectify (photo_to_scan.py --raw)
──► ORDER BY CONTENT, detect colored paper ← agent eyes, not filenames
──► enhance: noteshrink (white batch with -g │ colored pages separately,
after white-balance pre-pass)
──► assemble_pdf.py → A4 PDF
──► make_contact_sheet.py → READ IT, verify EVERY page ← mandatory
