# Idiomatic Rust bindings for Pdfium

`pdfium-render` provides an idiomatic high-level Rust interface to Pdfium, the C++ PDF library
used by the Google Chromium project. Pdfium can render pages in PDF files to bitmaps, load, edit,
and extract text and images from existing PDF files, and create new PDF files from scratch.

```rust
    use pdfium_render::prelude::*;

    fn export_pdf_to_jpegs(path: &impl AsRef<Path>, password: Option<&str>) -> Result<(), PdfiumError> {
        // Renders each page in the PDF file at the given path to a separate JPEG file.

        // Bind to a Pdfium library in the same directory as our Rust executable.
        // See the "Dynamic linking" section below.

        let pdfium = Pdfium::default();

        // Load the document from the given path...

        let document = pdfium.load_pdf_from_file(path, password)?;

        // ... set rendering options that will be applied to all pages...

        let render_config = PdfRenderConfig::new()
            .set_target_width(2000)
            .set_maximum_height(2000)
            .rotate_if_landscape(PdfPageRenderRotation::Degrees90, true);

        // ... then render each page to a bitmap image, saving each image to a JPEG file.

        for (index, page) in document.pages().iter().enumerate() {
            page.render_with_config(&render_config)?
                .as_image() // Renders this page to an image::DynamicImage...
                .into_rgb8() // ... then converts it to an image::Image...
                .save_with_format(
                    format!("test-page-{}.jpg", index), 
                    image::ImageFormat::Jpeg
                ) // ... and saves it to a file.
                .map_err(|_| PdfiumError::ImageError)?;
        }

        Ok(())
    }
```

`pdfium-render` binds to a Pdfium library at run-time, allowing for flexible selection of
system-provided or bundled Pdfium libraries and providing idiomatic Rust error handling in
situations where a Pdfium library is not available. A key advantage of binding to Pdfium at run-time
rather than compile-time is that a Rust application using `pdfium-render` can be compiled to WASM
for running in a browser alongside a WASM-packaged build of Pdfium.

## Examples

Short, commented examples that demonstrate all the major Pdfium document handling features are
available at <https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render/tree/master/examples>. These examples demonstrate:

* Rendering pages, and portions of pages, to bitmaps.
* Text and image extraction.
* Form field introspection and filling of form fields.
* Document signature introspection.
* Document attachment creation and introspection.
* Document concatenation.
* Page object introspection.
* Page annotation introspection.
* Page link introspection.
* Creation of new documents and new pages.
* Creation of page objects for text, paths, and bitmaps.
* Page object transformation.
* Multi-page tiled rendering.
* Watermarking.
* Thread safety.
* Compiling to WASM.

## What's new

_Note: upcoming release 0.9.0 will remove all deprecated items. For a complete list of deprecated
items, see <https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render/issues/36>._

Release 0.8.25 establishes a minimum supported Rust version of 1.60 for `pdfium-render`,
increments the `pdfium_latest` feature to `pdfium_6666` to match new Pdfium release 6666 at
<https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries>, adds new crate features `pdfium_use_skia`,
`pdfium_use_win32`, `pdfium_enable_xfa`, and `pdfium_enable_v8` to make available certain
Pdfium functions that require Pdfium to be built with specific compile-time flags, and adds
bindings for all remaining `FPDF_*` functions in the Pdfium API to `PdfiumLibraryBindings`,
an important milestone leading up to release 0.9.0.

Release 0.8.24 fixes a bug in certain string handling operations in the WASM bindings implementation, and introduces the ability to control the version of the Pdfium API used by `pdfium-render`. By default `pdfium-render` uses the latest released version of the Pdfium API, potentially requiring you to upgrade your Pdfium library if the latest release contains breaking changes. This can be inconvenient! To explicitly use an older API version, select one of the crate's Pdfium version feature flags when taking `pdfium-render` as a dependency in your project's `Cargo.toml`. See the "Crate features" section below for more information.

Release 0.8.23 updates the Pdfium bindings to the latest upstream release, adds new function `PdfPageTextChar::text_object()` for retrieving the page object containing a specific character in a text page, deprecates the `PdfFont::name()` function in favour of `PdfFont::family()` to match changes in upstream naming, adds new functions `PdfFont::is_embedded()` and `PdfFont::data()` for retrieving embedded font data, updates the `examples/fonts.rs` example to demonstrate the new functionality, and adjusts the implementation of some internal functions in response to upstream changes. Deprecated items will be removed in release 0.9.0.

Release 0.8.22 updates all examples and tests that reference functionality from the `image` crate
to use calls compatible with both `image` 0.25.x and 0.24.x, adds support for static linking to a
dynamic Pdfium library at compile time, adds the `PdfPages::page_size()` and `PdfPages::page_sizes()`
functions for retrieving the size of one or all pages without first needing to load those pages
into memory, and removes an unneeded internal dependency on the `iter_tools` crate, thanks to
excellent contributions from both <https://github.com/DorianRudolph> and <https://github.com/aruediger>.

## Binding to Pdfium

`pdfium-render` does not include Pdfium itself. You have several options:

* Bind to a dynamically-built Pdfium library provided by the operating system.
* Bind to a dynamically-built Pdfium library packaged alongside your Rust executable.
* Bind to a statically-built Pdfium library linked to your executable at compile time.

When compiling to WASM, packaging an external build of Pdfium as a separate WASM module is essential.

## Dynamic linking

Binding to a pre-built Pdfium dynamic library at runtime is the simplest option. On Android, a pre-built
`libpdfium.so` is packaged as part of the operating system (although recent versions of Android no
longer permit user applications to access it); alternatively, you can package a dynamic library
appropriate for your operating system alongside your Rust executable.

Pre-built Pdfium dynamic libraries suitable for runtime binding are available from several sources:

* Native (i.e. non-WASM) builds of Pdfium for all major platforms: <https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases>
* Android, iOS, macOS, and WASM builds of Pdfium: <https://github.com/paulocoutinhox/pdfium-lib/releases>

If you are compiling a native (i.e. non-WASM) build, and you place an appropriate Pdfium library
in the same folder as your compiled application, then binding to it at runtime is as simple as:

```rust
    use pdfium_render::prelude::*;

    let pdfium = Pdfium::new(
        Pdfium::bind_to_library(Pdfium::pdfium_platform_library_name_at_path("./")).unwrap()
    );
```

A common pattern used in the examples at <https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render/tree/master/examples>
is to first attempt to bind to a Pdfium library in the same folder as the compiled example, and
attempt to fall back to a system-provided library if that fails:

```rust
    use pdfium_render::prelude::*;

    let pdfium = Pdfium::new(
        Pdfium::bind_to_library(Pdfium::pdfium_platform_library_name_at_path("./"))
            .or_else(|_| Pdfium::bind_to_system_library())
            .unwrap() // Or use the ? unwrapping operator to pass any error up to the caller
    );
```

This pattern is used to provide an implementation of the `Default` trait, so the above can be
written more simply as:

```rust
    use pdfium_render::prelude::*;

    let pdfium = Pdfium::default();
```

## Static linking

The `static` crate feature offers an alternative to dynamic linking if you prefer to link Pdfium
directly into your executable at compile time. This enables the `Pdfium::bind_to_statically_linked_library()`
function which binds directly to the Pdfium functions compiled into your executable:

```rust
    use pdfium_render::prelude::*;

    let pdfium = Pdfium::new(Pdfium::bind_to_statically_linked_library().unwrap());
```

As a convenience, `pdfium-render` can instruct `cargo` to link to either a dynamically-built or a
statically-built Pdfium library for you. To link to a dynamically-built library, set the
`PDFIUM_DYNAMIC_LIB_PATH` environment variable when you run `cargo build`, like so:

```rust
    PDFIUM_DYNAMIC_LIB_PATH="/path/containing/your/dynamic/pdfium/library" cargo build
```

`pdfium-render` will pass the following flags to `cargo`:

```rust
    cargo:rustc-link-lib=dylib=pdfium
    cargo:rustc-link-search=native=$PDFIUM_DYNAMIC_LIB_PATH
```

To link to a statically-built library, set the path to the directory containing your library using
the `PDFIUM_STATIC_LIB_PATH` environment variable when you run `cargo build`, like so:

```rust
    PDFIUM_STATIC_LIB_PATH="/path/containing/your/static/pdfium/library" cargo build
```

`pdfium-render` will pass the following flags to `cargo`:

```rust
    cargo:rustc-link-lib=static=pdfium
    cargo:rustc-link-search=native=$PDFIUM_STATIC_LIB_PATH
```

These two environment variables save you writing a custom `build.rs` yourself. If you have your own
build pipeline that links Pdfium statically into your executable, simply leave these environment
variables unset.

Note that the path you set in either `PDFIUM_DYNAMIC_LIB_PATH` or `PDFIUM_STATIC_LIB_PATH`
should not include the filename of the library itself; it should just be the path of the containing
directory. You must make sure your library is named in the appropriate way for your target platform
(`libpdfium.so` or `libpdfium.a` on Linux and macOS, for example) in order for the Rust compiler
to locate it.

Depending on how your Pdfium library was built, you may need to also link against a C++ standard library.
To link against the GNU C++ standard library (`libstdc++`), use the optional `libstdc++` feature.
`pdfium-render` will pass the following additional flag to `cargo`:

```rust
    cargo:rustc-link-lib=dylib=stdc++
```

To link against the LLVM C++ standard library (`libc++`), use the optional `libc++` feature.
`pdfium-render` will pass the following additional flag to `cargo`:

```rust
    cargo:rustc-link-lib=dylib=c++
```

Alternatively, use the `link-cplusplus` crate to link against a C++ standard library. `link-cplusplus`
offers more options for deciding which standard library should be selected, including automatically
selecting the build platform's installed default.

`pdfium-render` will not build Pdfium for you; you must build Pdfium yourself, source a
pre-built static archive from elsewhere, or use a dynamically built library downloaded from one
of the sources listed above in the "Dynamic linking" section. If you wish to build a static library
yourself, an overview of the build process - including a sample build script - is available at
<https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render/issues/53>.

## Compiling to WASM

See <https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render/tree/master/examples> for a full example that shows
how to bundle a Rust application using `pdfium-render` alongside a pre-built Pdfium WASM module for
inspection and rendering of PDF files in a web browser.

Certain functions that access the file system are not available when compiling to WASM. In all cases,
browser-specific alternatives are provided, as detailed at the link above.

At the time of writing, the WASM builds of Pdfium at <https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases>
are compiled with a non-growable WASM heap memory allocator. This means that attempting to open
a PDF document longer than just a few pages will result in an unrecoverable out of memory error.
The WASM builds of Pdfium at <https://github.com/paulocoutinhox/pdfium-lib/releases> are recommended
as they do not have this problem.

## Multi-threading

Pdfium makes no guarantees about thread safety and should be assumed _not_ to be thread safe.
The Pdfium authors specifically recommend that parallel processing, not multi-threading,
be used to process multiple documents simultaneously.

`pdfium-render` achieves thread safety by locking access to Pdfium behind a mutex;
each thread must acquire exclusive access to this mutex in order to make any call to Pdfium.
This has the effect of sequencing all calls to Pdfium as if they were single-threaded,
even when using `pdfium-render` from multiple threads. This approach offers no performance benefit,
but it ensures that Pdfium will not crash when running as part of a multi-threaded application.

An example of safely using `pdfium-render` as part of a multi-threaded parallel iterator is
available at <https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render/tree/master/examples>.

## Crate features

This crate provides the following optional features:

* `bindings`: uses `cbindgen` to generate Rust bindings to the Pdfium functions defined in the
  `include/*.h` files each time `cargo build` is run. If `cbindgen` or any of its dependencies
  are not available then the build will fail.
* `image`: controls whether the `image` crate should be used by `pdfium-render` to provide page and
  page object rendering functionality. Projects that do not require page or page object rendering
  can disable this feature to avoid compiling the `image` crate into their binaries.
* `libstdc++`: links against the GNU C++ standard library when compiling. Requires the `static` feature. See the "Static linking" section above.
* `libc++`: links against the LLVM C++ standard library when compiling. Requires the `static` feature. See the "Static linking" section above.
* `static`: enables binding to a statically-linked build of Pdfium. See the "Static linking" section above.
* `sync`: provides implementations of the `Send` and `Sync` traits for the `Pdfium` and `PdfDocument`
  structs. This is useful for creating static instances that can be used with `lazy_static` or `once_cell`,
  although those instances are not guaranteed to be thread-safe. Use entirely at your own risk.
  Requires the `thread_safe` feature.
* `thread_safe`: wraps access to Pdfium behind a mutex to ensure thread-safe access to Pdfium.
  See the "Multithreading" section above.

Release 0.8.24 introduced new features to explicitly control the version of the Pdfium API used by `pdfium-render`:

* `pdfium_future`: binds `PdfiumLibraryBindings` to the latest published Pdfium API at <https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium/+/refs/heads/main/public>, irrespective of whether those changes have been built into a release at <https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases>. Useful for testing unreleased changes.
* `pdfium_latest`: binds `PdfiumLibraryBindings` to the latest released build of Pdfium at <https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases> supported by `pdfium-render`. This is currently `pdfium_6666`.
* `pdfium_6666`, `pdfium_6611`, `pdfium_6569`, `pdfium_6555`, `pdfium_6490`, `pdfium_6406`, `pdfium_6337`, `pdfium_6295`, `pdfium_6259`, `pdfium_6164`, `pdfium_6124`, `pdfium_6110`, `pdfium_6084`, `pdfium_6043`, `pdfium_6015`, `pdfium_5961`: binds `PdfiumLibraryBindings` to the specified version of the Pdfium API.

The `image`, `thread_safe`, and `pdfium_latest` features are enabled by default. All other features are disabled by default.

## Minimum supported Rust version

With the `image` feature enabled, the minimum supported Rust version of `pdfium-render` will align
with the minimum supported Rust version of `image` (at the time of writing, Rust 1.80). With the
`image` feature disabled, the minimum supported Rust version of `pdfium-render` is 1.60.

## Porting existing Pdfium code from other languages

The high-level idiomatic Rust interface provided by `pdfium-render` is built on top of 
raw FFI bindings to the Pdfium API defined in the `PdfiumLibraryBindings` trait. It is completely feasible
to use these raw FFI bindings directly if you wish, making porting existing code that uses the
Pdfium API trivial while still gaining the benefits of late binding and WASM compatibility.
For instance, the following code snippet (taken from a C++ sample):

```cpp
    string test_doc = "test.pdf";

    FPDF_InitLibrary();
    FPDF_DOCUMENT doc = FPDF_LoadDocument(test_doc, NULL);
    // ... do something with doc
    FPDF_CloseDocument(doc);
    FPDF_DestroyLibrary();
```

would translate to the following Rust code:

```rust
    let pdfium = Pdfium::default();
    let bindings = pdfium.bindings();
    let test_doc = "test.pdf";

    bindings.FPDF_InitLibrary();
    let doc = bindings.FPDF_LoadDocument(test_doc, None);
    // ... do something with doc
    bindings.FPDF_CloseDocument(doc);
    bindings.FPDF_DestroyLibrary();
```

Pdfium's API uses three different string types: classic C-style null-terminated char arrays,
UTF-8 byte arrays, and a UTF-16LE byte array type named `FPDF_WIDESTRING`. For functions that take a
C-style string or a UTF-8 byte array, `pdfium-render`'s binding will take the standard Rust `&str` type.
For functions that take an `FPDF_WIDESTRING`, `pdfium-render` exposes two functions: the vanilla
`FPDF_*()` function that takes an `FPDF_WIDESTRING`, and an additional `FPDF_*_str()` helper function
that takes a standard Rust `&str` and converts it internally to an `FPDF_WIDESTRING` before calling
Pdfium. Examples of functions with additional `_str()` helpers include `FPDFBookmark_Find()`,
`FPDFText_SetText()`, `FPDFText_FindStart()`, `FPDFDoc_AddAttachment()`, `FPDFAnnot_SetStringValue()`,
and `FPDFAttachment_SetStringValue()`.

The `PdfiumLibraryBindings::get_pdfium_utf16le_bytes_from_str()` and
`PdfiumLibraryBindings::get_string_from_pdfium_utf16le_bytes()` utility functions are provided
for converting to and from `FPDF_WIDESTRING` in your own code.

Some Pdfium functions return classic C-style integer boolean values, aliased as `FPDF_BOOL`.
The `PdfiumLibraryBindings::TRUE()`, `PdfiumLibraryBindings::FALSE()`,
`PdfiumLibraryBindings::is_true()`, `PdfiumLibraryBindings::to_result()`, and
`PdfiumLibraryBindings::bool_to_pdfium()` utility functions are provided for converting to
and from `FPDF_BOOL` in your own code.

Image pixel data in Pdfium is encoded in either three-channel BGR or four-channel BGRA.
The `PdfiumLibraryBindings::bgr_to_rgba()`, `PdfiumLibraryBindings::bgra_to_rgba()`,
`PdfiumLibraryBindings::rgb_to_bgra()`, and `PdfiumLibraryBindings::rgba_to_bgra()` utility functions
are provided for converting between RGB and BGR image data in your own code. 

## Development status

As at Pdfium release `pdfium_6666` there are 426 `FPDF_*` functions in the Pdfium API.
Bindings to these functions are available in the `PdfiumLibraryBindings` trait.

The initial focus of this crate was on rendering pages in a PDF file; consequently, high-level
implementations of `FPDF_*` functions related to page rendering were prioritised. By 1.0, the
functionality of all `FPDF_*` functions exported by all Pdfium modules will be available,
with the exception of certain functions specific to interactive scripting, user interaction,
and printing.

* Releases numbered 0.4.x added support for basic page rendering Pdfium functions to `pdfium-render`.
* Releases numbered 0.5.x-0.6.x added support for most read-only Pdfium functions to `pdfium-render`.
* Releases numbered 0.7.x added support for most Pdfium page object creation and editing functions to `pdfium-render`. 
* Releases numbered 0.8.x aim to progressively add support for all remaining Pdfium editing functions to `pdfium-render`.
* Releases numbered 0.9.x aim to fill any remaining gaps in the high-level interface prior to 1.0.

Some functions and type definitions have been renamed or revised since their initial implementations.
The initial implementations are still available but are marked as deprecated. These deprecated items
will be removed in release 0.9.0.

A small number of functions in the Pdfium API are gated behind compile-time flags when compiling Pdfium.
`pdfium-render` release 0.8.25 introduced new crate features to control whether these functions are
included in the `PdfiumLibraryBindings` trait:

* `pdfium_use_skia`: includes SKIA-specific functions in `PdfiumLibraryBindings`. You must bind to
a build of Pdfium that was compiled with the `PDF_USE_SKIA` flag, or using these functions will fail.
* `pdfium_use_win32`: includes Windows-specific functions in `PdfiumLibraryBindings`. You must bind
to a build of Pdfium that was compiled with the `_WIN32` flag, or using these functions will fail.
This feature requires the `windows` crate. This feature is not supported when compiling to WASM.
* `pdfium_enable_xfa`: includes XFA-specific functions in `PdfiumLibraryBindings`. You must bind to
a build of Pdfium that was compiled with the `PDF_ENABLE_XFA` flag, or using these functions will fail.
* `pdfium_enable_v8`: includes V8-specific functions in `PdfiumLibraryBindings`. You must bind to
a build of Pdfium that was compiled with the `PDF_ENABLE_V8` flag, or using these functions will fail.
This feature is not supported when compiling to WASM.
