Use when working with PDF documents, PDF generation, PDF graphics API, interactive PDF forms, digital signatures, PDF/A compliance, text extraction, image extraction, PDF merging/splitting, bookmarks, hyperlinks, annotations, or XMP metadata. Also use when someone mentions "DevExpress PDF", "PdfDocumentProcessor", "PdfGraphics", "DevExpress.Pdf", "create PDF in C\#", "merge PDF .NET", "sign PDF", "extract text from PDF", or asks about any PDF automation with DevExpress.

## From README

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.
