1.0.0 Breaking Changes
pdfjs 1.0.0-alpha.1 (still in development; expected to be buggy) contains a rewritten layout engine (layout engine of pdfjs <=0.5
reached its limits), i.e., both API and layout behavior has changed completely. Install with:
npm install pdfjs@1.0.0-alpha.1
Features
- Text (many formatting options)
- Images (JPEGs, other PDFs)
- Tables (fixed layout, header row, before page break rows)
- Header & Footer
- TTF Font embedding (as CID fonts, i.e., support for fonts with large character sets)
Missing: AFM fonts are currently not implemented.
If you are missing a feature, feel free to submit a PR or to ask for it.
