HexaPDF is a pure Ruby library with an accompanying application for working with PDF files. It was designed with ease of use and performance in mind. It uses lazy loading and lazy computing when possible and tries to produce small PDF files by default.

Features

  • Minimal dependencies ('cmdparse' for hexapdf binary, 'geom2d' for document layout)
  • Easy to use, Ruby-esque API
  • Fully tested with 100% code coverage
  • Low-level API with high-level convenience interface on top
  • Pure Ruby
  • Path drawing operations like lines, polylines, rectangles, bézier curves, arcs, ...
  • Complete canvas API which directly maps to PDF internal operators
