A Rust library for reading, manipulating, and writing PDF files. Reading is fairly mature, while modifying and writing PDFs is still experimental.
Use cases
- parse pdf files in rust
- extract text from pdfs
- read pdf metadata programmatically
- modify existing pdf documents
- write pdf files from code
- inspect pdf internal structure
When to choose
- you need a native Rust PDF parser without C dependencies
- you mainly need to read or extract data from PDFs
- you want to experiment with PDF manipulation in Rust
When to avoid
- you need robust, production-grade PDF editing or writing
- you need PDF rendering out of the box (rendering lives in a separate repo)
- you need a ready-made PDF viewer application
