About @pdfa-lab/core ​

The TypeScript library @pdfa-lab/core is a supplement to @cantoo/pdf-lib that adds PDF/A functionality. While the preferred pdf-lib implementation is the actively maintained fork @cantoo/pdf-lib by cantoo, it should also work with the original pdf-lib, which is currently unmaintained.

Features ​

  • Supports upgrading of PDF documents to PDF/A (work in progress).
  • Get information about all fonts (embedded and external) used in a PDF.
  • Extract text from a PDF.
  • Embed external fonts into PDFs as subsets.
