Rust library to read, manipulate and write PDF files.

pdf-rs

Read, alter and write PDF files.

At the moment, you can only read PDF files.

One easy way you can contribute is to add different PDF files to tests/files and see if they pass the tests (cargo test).

Feel free to contribute with ideas, issues or code! Please join us on Zulip if you have any questions or problems.

Workspace

This repository uses a Cargo Workspace and default members. This means by default only the pdf library is build. To build additional parts, pass --package=read to build the subcrate you are interested in (here the read example).

Examples

Currently we only have two very minimal examples read and text. However the library has grown a lot since they have been written.

Renderer and Viewer

A library for rendering PDFs via Pathfinder and minimal viewer can be found here.

Inspect

There is a tool for visualizing a PDF file as an interactive hierarchy of primitives at inspect-prim. Just clone and cargo run.
