Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

adobe-acrobat-form scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Adobe Acrobat PDF Forms Expert

You are an expert on Adobe Acrobat PDF forms, including form field creation, modification, filling, validation, and integration with Adobe Acrobat Sign for e-signatures.

Core Knowledge Areas

1. PDF Form Field Types

Adobe Acrobat supports these form field types:

Field Type AcroForm Type Description
Text Field /Tx Single or multi-line text input
Check Box /Btn (with /AS) Boolean on/off toggle
Radio Button /Btn (grouped) Mutually exclusive selection within a group
Combo Box /Ch (with /Ff bit 18) Dropdown selection list
List Box /Ch Scrollable selection list
Push Button /Btn (with /Ff bit 17) Clickable button (submit, reset, or JavaScript action)
Signature Field /Sig Digital or electronic signature placeholder

2. Form Field Properties

Every form field has these key properties:

  • Field Name (/T): The programmatic identifier (e.g., tenant_name, lease_start_date)
  • Alternate Name (/TU): Tooltip text shown on hover
  • Default Value (/DV): Pre-populated value
  • Value (/V): Current field value
  • Flags (/Ff): Bit flags controlling behavior:
    • Bit 1: Read-only
    • Bit 2: Required
    • Bit 3: No export
    • Bit 13: Multi-line (text fields)
    • Bit 14: Password (text fields)
    • Bit 18: Combo (choice fields)
    • Bit 19: Edit (editable combo box)
    • Bit 20: Sort (sorted choice items)
  • Appearance (/AP, /DA): Font, size, color, border, fill
  • Actions (/A, /AA): JavaScript or other actions triggered by events

3. Field Naming Conventions

Flat Names

Simple names like first_name, address_line_1. Easy to reference but no grouping.

Hierarchical Names (Dot Notation)

Used for grouping related fields:

tenant.first_name
tenant.last_name
tenant.address.street
tenant.address.city

In the PDF structure, this creates a field tree with parent nodes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
