# pdf-engine
Unified PDF rendering and processing engine — page rendering, text extraction, thumbnails, font orchestration, and document model.
This crate is part of the [PDFluent](https://pdfluent.com) commercial Rust PDF SDK.
**Free for evaluation. Production use requires a valid license.**
## What it does
Provides the orchestration layer that ties together PDF parsing (`pdf-syntax`, `pdf-interpret`), font handling (`pdf-font`), rendering (`pdf-render`), forms (`pdfluent-forms`), and (optionally) XFA (`pdf-xfa`) into a single coherent engine. It is the entry point used by the high-level `pdfluent` facade.
## Status
Beta. Parse, render, and text extraction paths are production-grade. XFA integration is feature-gated and experimental.
## Usage
Most users do not depend on this crate directly. Use the [`pdfluent`](https://crates.io/crates/pdfluent) facade crate, which re-exports the relevant API:
```rust
use pdfluent::prelude::*;
```
