Parse, modify, and generate PDFs with a clean, intuitive API. Beta Software : LibPDF is under active development and APIs may change between minor versions, but we use it in production at Documenso and consider it ready for real-world use. Why LibPDF? LibPDF was born from frustration. At Documenso, we found ourselves wrestling with the JavaScript PDF ecosystem: - PDF.js is excellent for rendering and even has annotation editing — but it requires a browser - pdf-lib has a great API, but chokes on slightly malformed documents - pdfkit only generates, no parsing at all We kept adding workarounds. A patch here for a malformed xref table. A hack there for an encrypted document. Eventually, we decided to build what we actually needed: - Lenient like PDFBox and PDF.js : opens documents other libraries reject - Intuitive like pdf-lib : clean, TypeScript-first API - Complete : encryption, digital signatures, incremental saves, form filling Features Feature Status Notes ------------------ ------ ------------------------------------------ Parse any PDF Yes Graceful fallback for malformed documents Create PDFs Yes From scratch or modify existing Encryption Yes RC4, AES-128, AES-256 (R2-R6) Digital Signatures Yes PAdES B-B, B-T, B-LT, B-LTA Form Filling Yes Text, checkbox, radio, dropdown, signature Form Flattening Yes Bake fields into page content Merge & Split Yes Combine or extract pages Attachments Yes Embed and extract files Text Extraction","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/LibPDF-js","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/LibPDF-js/core/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
