BlastPDF

A C# library for PDF parsing and editing

Purpose / Goals

My reason for writing starting this idea was the huge amount of closed source and/or very expensive PDF libraries. I had to purchase one of these (will not name) and couldn't help but thing "The PDF file spec can't be that complicated. Why can't I do this myself?".

With all my projects I try to challenge myself and learn as much as I can. The following are those goals:

  • Be able to generate any PDF I can imagine
    • I really want to create a copy of that one super cool DnD character sheet PDF that walks you through setting up a new character
  • Have zero dependencies
    • I am allowed to use only Microsoft.CodeAnalysis for the code generators and Newtonsoft.JSON for debugging purposes.
    • I am also allowed to use any external dependency where I am the primary author. (i.e. SharperImage fka BlastIMG)
  • Develop a templating language that uses code generators so the templates are type checked at compile time instead of runtime
  • Create a PDF viewer / editor ALA Adobe Acrobat utilizing BlastPDF as the backend (I will allow myself to use external libraries for drawing stuff to the screen)
  • Learn more about C#
