I am looking for a PDF processing library written in Erlang, but I was unable to find any yet. ErlGuten, the only library I found could only generate PDFs not process them. Anyone aware of such library?
A:
I think your best option is to bridge with a 3rd party PDF library. Such as Adobe's own PDF Library SDK or another lesser known vendor.

nifty link I'm tempted to try to unpack it from there just to see how hard it is. But the pdf doesn't really say if it will do what the poster asks. process pdf files could mean any subset of pdf processing in his document.

It can find the xref table and extract objects from the pdf but has no understanding of the meaning of the objects. pdftron's CosEdit is an easy way to extract the erlang code from the pdf.

A:
There is an open source library based on webkit: WKHTMLTOPDF
It generates PDF from an HTML template.
And here is small tutorial of how we are using it whith an Erlang backend.
