PDFCraft is an extensible toolkit for creating, editing, and transforming PDF documents with both a graphical interface and a scripting API, making it useful for users ranging from casual editors to automated document processors. At its core, the project provides a clean, modern UI where you can rearrange pages, annotate text, insert images, fill forms, and export to multiple formats, all without needing a heavyweight commercial PDF suite. But beyond manual editing, it also offers a programmable layer so developers can write scripts to batch process documents, generate templated reports, or extract structured data from PDFs for integration in workflows. The design emphasizes quality and compatibility: output PDFs render accurately across readers, preserve metadata, and support interactive elements like hyperlinks and form fields.
