=====================
What is PoDoFo?PoDoFo is a library to work with the PDF file format. The name comes from the first letter of PDF (Portable Document Format). A few tools to work with PDF files are already included in the PoDoFo package.
Included ToolsThe PoDoFo tools are simple tools build around the PoDoFo library. These tools are first of all examples on how to use the PoDoFo library in your own projects. But secondly they offer also features for working with PDF files. More tools will come with future release and the existing tools will gain more features.
Currently there are the following tools:
podofoencrypt - Encrypts any PDF and allows to set PDF permissions..
podofoimgextract - Extracts all images from a given PDF file.
podofoimpose - A powerful PDF imposition tool. It places pages from one or more source PDFs onto pages of a new PDF, applying scaling and positioning.
podofomerge - Merges two PDF files into onw.
podofopdfinfo - Provides some basic info about a PDF - metadata, page details, etc.
podofotxt2pdf - Converts a text file to a PDF
podofotxtextract - A tool that extracts all text from a PDF file. Works only for simple PDFs at the moment.
