Bindings for the PoDoFo PDF Library
This project provides Node.js bindings for the PoDoFo PDF library.
Basic functionality has been implemented, but this is generally a work in progress. Pull requests are welcome.
Installing
This requires libpodofo to be installed. If you are using Ubuntu, the
following command should suffice:
sudo apt-get install libpodofo-dev
Then, installing this library is as simple as:
npm install podofo
Building on Windows
PoDoFo (minimally) depends on zlib and freetype. You will also need the source
for PoDoFo itself. You can download these packages and extract them into deps/.
After extraction, the directory tree should look like this:
- deps/
- freetype/
- podofo/
- zlib/
The following versions have been tested:
- freetype: 2.6.3
- podofo: 0.9.3
- zlib: 1.2.8
Then you just need to run node-pre-gyp configure build to obtain a binary.
Of course, you will also need to have a toolchain installed. This has been tested with Visual Studio 2015. The Community edition is available from Microsoft for free.
