Package pdfcpu is a simple PDF processing library written in Go supporting encryption. It provides both an API and a CLI. Supported are all versions up to PDF 1.7 (ISO-32000).
Version: 0.1.15
- Marks the first release under the Apache-2.0 license.
- Comes with a new command for adding stamps/watermarks for selected pages supporting text and images.
- Additional watermark configuration for fontname/size/color, absolute/relative scaling, render mode, opacity and rotation is also supported.
- Optional intelligent rotation aligns the rotation angle with one of two page diagonals.
-pagesnow also supportsodd/even. (You can even say-pages odd,n1if you want to stamp all odd pages other than the title page.)extract -mode imageis now natively supporting PNG and TIFF with optional lzw compression.- github.com/iPaladinLLC/pdfcpu/lzw is an improved version of
compress/lzw. (There is a golang proposal.) - github.com/iPaladinLLC/pdfcpu/tiff is an improved version of golang.org/x/image/tiff.
- Bug fixes.
This is an effort to build a PDF processing library from the ground up written in Go with strong support for batch processing via a rich command line. Over time pdfcpu aims to support the standard range of PDF processing features and also any interesting use cases that may present themselves along the way.
One example is reducing the size of large PDF files for mass mailings by optimization to the bare minimum. This can be achieved by analyzing a PDF's cross reference table, removing redundant embedded resources like font files or images and by always writing back the file maxing out PDF compression. I also wanted to have my own swiss army knife for PDFs written entirely in Go that allows me to trim, split, stamp and merge PDF content.
- Validate (validates PDF files up to version 7.0)
- Read (builds xref table from PDF file)
- Write (writes xref table to PDF file)
- Optimize (gets rid of redundancies like duplicate fonts, images)
- Split (split a multi page PDF file into single page PDF files)
- Merge (a set of PDF files into one consolidated PDF file)
- Extract Images (extract all embedded images of a PDF file into a given dir)
- Extract Fonts (extract all embedded fonts of a PDF file into a given dir)
- Extract Pages (extract specific pages into a given dir)
- Extract Content (extract the PDF-Source into given dir)
- Trim (generate a custom version of a PDF file)
- Stamp/Watermark selected pages.
- Manage (add,remove,list,extract) embedded file attachments
- Encrypt (sets password protection)
- Decrypt (removes password protection)
- Change user/owner password
- Manage (add,list) user access permissions
Required build version: go1.9 and up

pdfcpu version
- Please open an issue if you find a bug or want to propose a change.
- Feature requests - always welcome
- Bug fixes - always welcome
- PRs - also welcome, although I can't promise a merge-in right now since
pdfcpuis stable but still alpha and occasionally undergoing heavy changes.
Usage of pdfcpu assumes you know about and respect all copyrights of any PDF content you may be processing. This applies to the PDF files as such, their content and in particular all embedded resources like font files or images. Credit goes to Renee French for creating our beloved Gopher.
