Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00153 | $0.04893 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00077 | $0.02447 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00979 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00489 |
Grade A, and why
devexpress-office-file-api-pdf 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 408 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
DevExpress PDF Document API
The PDF Document API is a non-visual .NET library for creating, loading, editing, merging, splitting, signing, and extracting content from PDF documents — without requiring Adobe Acrobat. It supports both new document generation via a graphics API and processing of existing PDFs through PdfDocumentProcessor. Features include interactive AcroForm fields, digital signatures (PKCS#7, PAdES), password protection, annotations, bookmarks, hyperlinks, content extraction, and XMP metadata management.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Create new PDF files from scratch using a graphics drawing API
- Load and modify existing PDF files (rotate pages, add content, change properties)
- Merge multiple PDF files into one or split pages out of a document
- Add or reorder pages, copy pages between documents
- Draw text, images, rectangles, lines, ellipses, and paths on PDF pages
- Create interactive AcroForms (text boxes, check boxes, combo boxes, radio groups, signature fields)
- Read and write AcroForm field values, or flatten forms
- Apply digital signatures (PKCS#7, PAdES) using PFX files or custom signers (Azure Key Vault)
- Validate existing digital signatures in PDFs
- Protect PDFs with user/owner passwords and restrict permissions (printing, editing, copying)
- Add annotations (highlight, underline, sticky notes, redaction) to pages
- Add bookmarks, hyperlinks, and file attachments
- Extract text (with word coordinates), search text, or extract images from PDF pages
- Convert PDFs to PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-3b compliance
- Read and write XMP metadata packets
- Print PDFs with custom printer settings

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.

devexpress-office-file-api-pdf is a skill published in the GitHub repository DevExpress/agent-skills (52 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 153 tokens to every session and 4,893 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
