libqpdf native binding for nodejs
Based on https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf (version 8.0.2).
The interface deliberately follows the C++ interface, no attempt to JS-ify the interface is made, except that std::vector is mapped to a JS Array and std::set / std::map is a Set / Map.
Methods returning a std::string in C++ will return a JS Buffer or a JS String, depending on what seems to be more appropriate in the particular case.
As JS can only represent integers up to 2**53 accurately, QPDFObjectHandle::getIntValue (returns 64 bit integer) is not wrapped. Use QPDFObjectHandle::getNumericValue().
TODO:
- add more methods of QPDFObjectHandle
- QPDFObjectHandle::parse from Buffer
- create wrappers for QPDF and QPDFWriter (esp. io/streaming [note: reader needs random access])
Specials:
npm run install --with-libjpeg (requires -ljpeg to be available)
