Introduction
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pdfio is a simple C library for reading and writing PDF files. The primary
|
||
|
|
goals of pdfio are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Read any PDF file with or without encryption or linearization
|
||
|
|
- Write PDF files without encryption or linearization
|
||
|
|
- Extract or embed useful metadata (author, creator, page information, etc.)
|
||
|
|
- "Filter" PDF files, for example to extract a range of pages or to embed fonts
|
||
|
|
that are missing from a PDF
|
||
|
|
- Provide access to objects used for each page
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pdfio is *not* concerned with rendering or viewing a PDF file, although a PDF
|
||
|
|
RIP or viewer could be written using it.
