[!Warning] pdfnaut is currently in an early stage of development and has only been tested with a small set of compliant documents. Some non-compliant documents may work under strict=False. Expect bugs or issues.
pdfnaut aims to become a PDF processor for parsing PDF 2.0 files.
pdfnaut provides a high-level interface for reading and writing PDF documents as described in the PDF 2.0 specification for actions such as reading and writing metadata, modifying and inserting pages, creating PDF objects, etc.
