Install
One command. The package is on crates.io today.
cargo add pdfluent@1.0.0-beta.5Smoke test
Open a PDF, print the page count. The example below is the smallest useful program — copy, paste, run.
rust
use pdfluent::PdfDocument;
fn main() -> pdfluent::Result<()> {
let doc = PdfDocument::open("invoice.pdf")?;
println!("{} pages", doc.page_count());
Ok(())
}What this is good for
- Server-side document pipelines
- Native CLI tooling
- Embedding the SDK in Rust services and workers
Current limitations
This list is honest, not exhaustive. The site-wide list lives at Known limitations.
- Public beta — APIs may shift before 1.0.
- XFA rendering fidelity is improving; complex dynamic forms may render with visual deltas.
- PDF/A conversion currently covers PDF/A-1b, 2b, and 3b. Uncommon profiles are scoped for later releases.
Licensing
PDFluent ships with a 30-day trial built in. Every paid plan includes a perpetual-fallback licence — your build keeps working at the version you licensed, indefinitely. Details on the licensing page.
