What it does

Edit PDF is an agent skill from SimplePDF/simplepdf-embed. Edit and fill PDF documents. Use when the user wants to fill a PDF form, add text/signatures/checkboxes/images to a PDF, or annotate a PDF. Accepts a PDF URL or file upload and returns a ready-to-use editor link. URL inputs are passed through directly. File uploads are stored temporarily (24 hours) then deleted.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files (for example `.do/app.yaml` and `README.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF and File uploads and storage. It works with React, TypeScript and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: PDF editor in the browser – add text, checkboxes, pictures, signatures to PDF files. Merge, rotate PDF pages – iframe, script and React component. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user wants to fill a PDF form
Add text/signatures/checkboxes/images to a PDF

Example prompts

“/edit-pdf”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51f5427. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Rust), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- agents.simplepdf.com
- s3.amazonaws.com
Also links to:
- simplepdf.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Edit PDF loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 546 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from SimplePDF/simplepdf-embed at commit 51f5427, republished under its MIT licence (© SimplePDF). 546 words, ~1,453 tokens.

name: edit-pdf
description: Edit and fill PDF documents. Use when the user wants to fill a PDF form, add text/signatures/checkboxes/images to a PDF, or annotate a PDF. Accepts a PDF URL or file upload and returns a ready-to-use editor link. URL inputs are passed through directly. File uploads are stored temporarily (24 hours) then deleted.

SimplePDF - PDF Editor

Edit and fill PDF documents directly in the browser. Add text, signatures, checkboxes, images, and more.

From a URL

For public PDF URLs, use GET with the URL as a query parameter:

GET https://agents.simplepdf.com?url=https://example.com/form.pdf

For signed or sensitive URLs (e.g. presigned S3 links), use POST with a JSON body to keep the URL out of logs and browser history:

bash

curl -X POST https://agents.simplepdf.com \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/doc.pdf?X-Amz-Signature=..."}'

Both return JSON with the editor URL and embed snippets.

From a file

Upload a PDF file to the API. For security and privacy, the file is stored temporarily (24 hours) then automatically deleted. The user has 24 hours to open the link. Once opened, the PDF is loaded into the browser and processed entirely client-side, so the tab can stay open indefinitely.

Shell

bash

curl -X POST https://agents.simplepdf.com -F file=@document.pdf

TypeScript

typescript

const form = new FormData();
form.append("file", new Blob([pdfBytes], { type: "application/pdf" }), "document.pdf");

const response = await fetch("https://agents.simplepdf.com", { method: "POST", body: form });
const { url } = await response.json();

Python

python

import requests

with open("document.pdf", "rb") as f:
    response = requests.post("https://agents.simplepdf.com", files={"file": f})

url = response.json()["url"]

Presenting the result to the user

Always present the url field as a clickable link. This is the primary way users will open the editor.

If you have access to a browser automation tool (e.g. agent-browser, Playwright, chrome-devtools MCP server), offer to open the url directly so the user can edit the PDF without leaving the conversation.

The iframe and react fields are for developers embedding the editor in a web application. Only present these when the user is building a web app.

Company-specific editor

Add companyIdentifier to route to a custom SimplePDF portal:

GET https://agents.simplepdf.com?url=https://example.com/form.pdf&companyIdentifier=acme

Or in a POST JSON body:

json

{"url": "https://example.com/form.pdf", "companyIdentifier": "acme"}

SimplePDF account features

When using a companyIdentifier, the account owner has access to:

Custom branding: customize the editor appearance (guide)
Email notifications: receive an email each time a user submits a filled PDF
Webhook notifications: receive submissions via webhook to integrate with any backend (guide)
Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS): route submitted PDFs directly to the company's own S3 or Azure storage bucket (guide)

These features are configured in the SimplePDF admin console. No additional API parameters are needed - they apply automatically when the companyIdentifier is set.

Response

json

{
  "url": "https://...",
  "iframe": "<iframe src=\"...\" width=\"100%\" height=\"800\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>",
  "react": "<EmbedPDF mode=\"inline\" documentURL=\"...\" />"
}

Field	Description
`url`	Direct link to open the PDF in the SimplePDF editor
`iframe`	HTML snippet to embed the editor in a web page
`react`	React component snippet (see example below)

React integration

Requires @simplepdf/react-embed-pdf (npm install @simplepdf/react-embed-pdf):

tsx

import { EmbedPDF } from "@simplepdf/react-embed-pdf";

const PDFEditor = ({ documentURL }: { documentURL: string }) => (
  <EmbedPDF mode="inline" companyIdentifier="ai" documentURL={documentURL} />
);

With a company-specific portal, replace "ai" with the portal identifier:

tsx

<EmbedPDF
  mode="inline"
  companyIdentifier="acme"
  documentURL="https://example.com/form.pdf"
/>

Privacy

URL input: The PDF URL is passed directly to the browser-based editor. The PDF is never downloaded or stored by this service.
File upload: For security and privacy, uploaded PDFs are stored for up to 24 hours then automatically deleted. Once the editor loads the PDF in the browser, the tab works independently of the stored file.
Editing: All PDF editing happens client-side in the browser. The edited document is never sent to SimplePDF servers.

Supported operations

Once the user opens the editor link, they can:

Fill form fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns)
Add free text annotations anywhere on the page
Draw or type signatures
Add images
Add checkboxes and checkmarks

Limits

Maximum PDF size: 50 MB (file uploads only)
Uploaded files expire after 24 hours
Rate limit: 30 requests per minute per IP
URL must start with https://
companyIdentifier must be a valid SimplePDF portal identifier
