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! You can also join the discussion on #rust-pdf on irc.oftc.net.

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).

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

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

run it: cargo run -p view --release --bin pdf_view YOUR_FILE.pdf Right now you can change pages with left and right arrow keys and zoom with '+' and '-'. Works for some files.
