It uses a single dependency, the [Symfony Process Component](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html), to interface with the [Poppler command line tools from the xpdf library](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/). Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the library using Composer: ``` composer require 1tomany/pdf-pack ``` Installing Poppler ------------------ [](#installing-poppler) Before beginning, ensure the `pdfinfo`, `pdftoppm`, and `pdftotext` binaries are installed and located in your `$PATH`. ### macOS [](#macos) ``` brew install poppler ``` ### Debian and Ubuntu [](#debian-and-ubuntu) ``` apt-get install poppler-utils ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This library has three main features: - Read PDF metadata such as the number of pages - Rasterize one or more pages to JPEG or PNG images - Extract text from one or more pages Extracted data is stored in memory and can be written to the filesystem or converted to a `data:` URI. Because extracted data is stored in memory, this library returns a `\Generator` object for each page that is extracted or rasterized. Using the library is easy, and you have two ways to interact with it: 1. **Direct** Instantiate the `OneToMany\PdfPack\Client\Poppler\PopplerClient` class and call the methods directly. This method is easier to use, but comes with the cost that your application will be less flexible and testable. 2. **Actions** Create a container of `OneToMany\PdfPack\Contract\Client\ClientInterface` objects, and use the `OneToMany\PdfPack\Factory\ClientFactory` class to instantiate them. **Note:** A [Symfony bundle](https://github.com/1tomany/pdf-pack-bundle) is available if you wish to integrate this library into your Symfony applications with autowiring and configuration support. ### Direct usage [](#direct-usage) See [`examples/direct.php`](https://github.com/1tomany/pdf-pack/blob/master/examples/direct.php).
