WeasyPrint helps web developers to create PDF documents. It turns simple HTML pages into gorgeous statistical reports, invoices, tickets, etc.

From a technical point of view, WeasyPrint is a visual rendering engine for HTML and CSS that can export to PDF and PNG. It aims to support web standards for printing.

It is based on various libraries but not on a full rendering engine like WebKit or Gecko. The CSS layout engine is written in Python, designed for pagination, and meant to be easy to hack on. Weasyprint can also be used as a python library.

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.

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

PDFmarks is a technique that accompanies PDF, and that is used to store metadata such as author or title, but also structural information such as bookmarks or hyperlinks.

When Ghostscript reads the main PDF generated by the TeX system with embedded PDF files and outputs the final PDF, the PDF page mode and name targets etc. are not preserved. Therefore, when you open the final PDF, it is not displayed correctly. Also, remote PDF links do not work correctly.

This program is able to extract the page mode and named targets as PDFmark from PDF. In this way, you can obtain embedded PDF files that have kept this information.

flyer-composer can be used to prepare one- or two-sided flyers for printing on one sheet of paper.

Imagine you have designed a flyer in A6 format and want to print it using your A4 printer. Of course, you want to print four flyers on each sheet. This is where Flyer Composer steps in, creating a PDF which holds your flyer four times. If you have a second page, Flyer Composer can arrange it the same way - even if the second page is in a separate PDF file.

This package contains only the command line tool. If you like to use the gui, please install the flyer-composer-gui package.

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

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.

pdf2svg is a simple command-line PDF to SVG converter using the Poppler and Cairo libraries.

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.
