A project that automatically builds and distributes pre-compiled binaries of Google's PDFium PDF rendering library for many platforms and CPU architectures. Releases are generated weekly via CI and published on GitHub Releases and NuGet.

Use cases

• get prebuilt pdfium binaries instead of building from source
• render pdf files in a c++ application
• link pdfium into an android or ios app
• use pdfium in a .net project via nuget
• build a pdf viewer or pdf text extraction tool
• compile pdfium for webassembly

When to choose

• you need PDFium without the pain of building Chromium's toolchain
• you need binaries for multiple platforms and architectures
• you want regularly updated PDFium builds

When to avoid

• you need a high-level PDF API rather than the raw C PDFium interface
• you need a custom PDFium build with non-default patches or flags
• you need a different PDF engine like MuPDF or Poppler
