The PCI Utilities are a collection of programs for inspecting and manipulating configuration of PCI devices, all based on a common portable library libpci which offers access to the PCI configuration space on a variety of operating systems. This includes the lspci and setpci commands.

hwdata contains various hardware identification and configuration data, such as the pci.ids and usb.ids databases. Each database is contained in a specific package output, such as the pci output for pci.ids, the usb output for usb.ids, etc.

The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that correspond to the POSIX regular expression API.

pdf.tocgen is a set of command-line tools for automatically extracting and generating the table of contents of a PDF file. It uses the embedded font attributes and position of headings to deduce the basic outline of a PDF file.

It works best for PDF files produced from a TeX document, but it's designed to work with any software-generated PDF files (i.e. you shouldn't expect it to work with scanned PDFs). Some examples include troff/groff, Adobe InDesign, LibreOffice Writer, and probably more.

qpdfview is a document viewer for PDF, PS and DJVU files. It uses the Qt toolkit and features persistent per-file settings, configurable toolbars and shortcuts, continuous and multi‐page layouts, SyncTeX support, and rudimentary support for annotations and forms.

A4PDF is a low-level library for generating PDF files. It does not have a document model and instead uses PDF primitives directly. It uses LittleCMS for color management but otherwise does not convert data in any way.

This is the ReportLab PDF Toolkit. It allows rapid creation of rich PDF documents, and also creation of charts in a variety of bitmap and vector formats.

pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from multiple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a PDF file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster. The input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size.

This is much like poster does for Postscript files, but working with PDF. Since sometimes poster does not like your files converted from PDF. Indeed pdfposter was inspired by poster.

PoDoFo is a C++ library and set of command-line tools to work with the PDF file format. It can parse PDF files and load them into memory, and makes it easy to modify them and write the changes to disk. It is primarily useful for applications that wish to do lower level manipulation of PDF, such as extracting content or merging files.

QPDF is a command-line program that does structural, content-preserving transformations on PDF files. It could have been called something like pdf-to-pdf. It includes support for merging and splitting PDFs and to manipulate the list of pages in a PDF file. It is not a PDF viewer or a program capable of converting PDF into other formats.

pydyf is a low-level PDF generator written in Python and based on PDF specification 1.7.

MuPDF is a C library that implements a PDF and XPS parsing and rendering engine. It is used primarily to render pages into bitmaps, but also provides support for other operations such as searching and listing the table of contents and hyperlinks.

The library ships with a rudimentary X11 viewer, and a set of command line tools for batch rendering pdfdraw, rewriting files pdfclean, and examining the file structure pdfshow.

Paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file through the Pango Cairo back end.

Pdfgrep searches in pdf files for strings matching a regular expression. Support some GNU grep options as file name output, page number output, optional case insensitivity, count occurrences, color highlights and search in multiple files.

This package contains a collection of fonts for use in PyMuPDF. It contains fonts from the Cascadia Mono, Fira Mono, FiraGO, Noto Sans, Space Mono and Ubuntu families.

The zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin adds PDF support to zathura by using the mupdf rendering library.

unpaper is a post-processing tool for scanned sheets of paper, especially for book pages that have been scanned from previously created photocopies.

Its main purpose is to make scanned book pages better readable on screen after conversion to PDF. Additionally, unpaper might be useful to enhance the quality of scanned pages before performing OCR.

Impressive is a tool to display PDF files that provides visual effects such as smooth alpha-blended slide transitions. It provides additional tools such as zooming, highlighting an area of the screen, and a tool to navigate the PDF pages.

libHaru is a library for generating PDF files. libHaru does not support reading and editing of existing PDF files.

PDFCrack is a simple tool for recovering passwords from PDF documents that use the standard security handler.

diffpdf lets you compare PDF files, offering three comparison modes: words, characters, and appearance.

Stapler is a pure Python alternative to PDFtk, a tool for manipulating PDF documents from the command line. It supports

• cherry-picking pages and concatenating them into a new file

• splitting a PDF document into single pages each in its own file

• merging PDF documents with their pages interleaved

• displaying metadata in a PDF document

• displaying the mapping between logical and physical page numbers
