## What it is
A Go library that generates PDF documents with high-level support for text, drawing, and images. It is pure Go with no dependencies beyond the standard library, but the repository is officially closed and no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- generate pdf reports in go
- create pdf invoices programmatically
- add images and drawings to pdf documents
- generate pdfs with utf-8 trueType fonts
- create barcodes and charts inside pdfs
- import existing pdfs as templates

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free pure Go PDF generator
- you need UTF-8, TrueType fonts, or right-to-left language support
- you need drawing primitives, barcodes, layers, or PDF template import
- you are okay pinning to the last viable commit since the API is stable

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and security patches
- you need advanced PDF features like forms or digital signatures
- you should prefer an actively maintained fork such as go-pdf/fpdf
- you need to parse or extract text from PDFs rather than generate them

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: pdf, graphics, image-processing
- domain: pdf, files, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: pdf-generation, unmaintained, no-dependencies, utf-8, barcodes, document-generator
