Convert Code to PDF via VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `generate_pdf_from_html` tool converts your workspace HTML files into production-ready documents through VS Code Copilot. Your team can run this tool directly from the chat panel to verify layout rendering during development. By sharing the MCP configuration in your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every engineer on your team gets access to the same rendering engine. This ensures consistent document output across different local environments.

Compress and Secure PDF Files

The `compress_pdf` tool optimizes document size before you commit files to your repository or upload them to cloud storage. You can also use `add_watermark` to stamp draft or confidential labels onto your documents. Your VS Code Copilot agent coordinates these steps during your normal workflow. It can take a freshly generated PDF, shrink its size, apply your corporate watermark, and stage it for deployment.

Capture Visual Proofs and Images

The `generate_screenshot` tool takes visual captures of web pages and returns them directly to your VS Code Copilot chat. If you need to generate standalone graphics, `generate_image` handles image creation from raw inputs. This lets you build visual testing pipelines right inside your editor. Your agent can generate a document, take a screenshot of the output, and display it side-by-side with your source code.
