UniPDF is a Go library for creating, reading, and processing PDF files with pure Go implementation.
The library addresses the need for comprehensive PDF manipulation within Go applications. It handles both document generation from scratch and modification of existing PDFs. The approach is built as a pure Go implementation, meaning it has no external dependencies, which simplifies deployment and cross-platform compatibility.
Developers should choose this tool if they are building Go applications that require PDF generation, such as reports and invoices, or need to process existing PDFs through operations like merging, splitting, and page rotation. The library suits projects requiring text and image extraction with position and formatting information, form handling including creation and filling, and security features such as password protection and digital signature validation. It also provides optimization capabilities for compressing PDFs. The tool is actively maintained by FoxyUtils.com, where it powers production services.
The project maintains a steady stream of commits addressing bug fixes and feature enhancements. Pull requests receive timely review and integration.
