Any examples using rsc.io/pdf ?

[Hein Meling]

Hi all,

I want to use http://godoc.org/rsc.io/pdf, but I'm not very familiar with the data structures of pdf files, and I'm primarily looking to write something quickly (and don't really want to learn those low-level pdf details... I just want to use the mentioned go API. However, just from reading the API doc it is not trivial to figure out how things actually work.

Here is what I want: I want to check a whole bunch of pdf files

- that they are within a specified page limit. This is easy. 

- that all fonts are embedded in the pdf file. (so far I've been able to find some fonts, but not all, still experimenting...).

- extract certain text elements, e.g. first author last name and paper title. (These should be in the same place in all files.)

I'll be playing around with the API, but I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a few examples using the API. @Russ: Maybe it would be worth adding a few Examples to the API doc, just to demonstrate what can be done with it.

Thanks,

:) Hein

Take a look at this:

https://github.com/rsc/arm/blob/master/armspec/spec.go

It demonstrated how to extract text and font out.
