pdf_metadata_scraper

simple javascript library to read metadata from a PDF

Usage

Simply include in your project. The library defines two classes, PDFScraper, and the helper class BufferWrangler. Instantiate PDFScraper with a variable holding the contents of your PDF and select one of the different output methods. For simply viewing the PDF metadata, you might want to use the pretty_print or pretty_print_unique_values methods.

This library is based on pdf_info by preciz with additional code lifted from uint8array-extras by sindresorhus

And always

This library is basically beta, and I doubt I will change much on it. So use it at your own risk. I'm using it inside a Google App Script into which more featurefull PDF libraries are not easy to integrate because of their use of async / await. This library does not use any async functions and is therefore fairly easy to integrate.
