This project provides Node.js bindings for the PoDoFo PDF library.
Basic functionality has been implemented, but this is generally a work in progress. Pull requests are welcome.
This requires libpodofo to be installed. If you are using Ubuntu, the
following command should suffice:
sudo apt-get install libpodofo-dev
Then, installing this library is as simple as:
npm install podofo
PoDoFo (minimally) depends on zlib and freetype. You will also need the source
for PoDoFo itself. You can download these packages and extract them into deps/.
After extraction, the directory tree should look like this:
- deps/
- freetype/
- podofo/
- zlib/
The following versions have been tested:
- freetype: 2.6.3
- podofo: 0.9.3
- zlib: 1.2.8
Then you just need to run node-pre-gyp configure build to obtain a binary.
Of course, you will also need to have a toolchain installed. This has been tested with Visual Studio 2015. The Community edition is available from Microsoft for free.
