Crate pdfcat 

pdfcat - Concatenate PDF files into a single document.

This library provides functionality for merging multiple PDF files while preserving quality, structure, and metadata. It supports:

• High-quality PDF merging
• Page extraction and manipulation
• Bookmark creation
• Metadata management
• Parallel processing
• Comprehensive error handling

Examples

Basic Merge

use pdfcat::merge;
use pdfcat::config::{Config, CompressionLevel, Metadata, OverwriteMode};
use std::path::PathBuf;

let config = Config {
    inputs: vec![PathBuf::from("a.pdf"), PathBuf::from("b.pdf")],
    output: PathBuf::from("merged.pdf"),
    dry_run: false,
    verbose: false,
    overwrite_mode: OverwriteMode::Prompt,
    quiet: false,
    bookmarks: true,
    compression: CompressionLevel::Standard,
    metadata: Metadata::default(),
    continue_on_error: false,
    jobs: None,
    page_range: None,
    rotation: None,
};

let (document, stats) = merge::merge_pdfs(&config).await?;
println!("Created {} page document", stats.total_pages);

Using Individual Components

use pdfcat::io::{PdfReader, PdfWriter};
use pdfcat::validation::Validator;
use std::path::PathBuf;

// Validate input
let validator = Validator::new();
let result = validator.validate_file(&PathBuf::from("input.pdf")).await?;
println!("PDF has {} pages", result.page_count);

// Load PDF
let reader = PdfReader::new();
let loaded = reader.load(&PathBuf::from("input.pdf")).await?;

// Save PDF
let writer = PdfWriter::new();
writer.save(&loaded.document, &PathBuf::from("output.pdf")).await?;
