The analogy between determinantal point processes (DPPs) and free fermionic calculi is well-known. We point out that, from the perspective of free fermionic algebras, Pfaffian point processes (PfPPs) naturally emerge, and show that a positive contraction acting on a ''doubled'' one-particle space with an additional structure defines a unique PfPP. Recently, Olshanski inverted the direction from free fermions to DPPs, proposed a scheme to construct a fermionic state from a quasi-invariant probability measure, and introduced the notion of perfectness of a probability measure. We propose a method to check the perfectness and show that Schur measures are perfect as long as they are quasi-invariant under the action of the symmetric group. We also study conditional measures for PfPPs associated with projection operators. Consequently, we show that the conditional measures are again PfPPs associated with projection operators onto subspaces explicitly described.
