Edit existing pdf in node

[santa]

Hello All,

Is there a library to edit an existing pdf in node?

Thanks,

Santosh

I do not know of any existing solutions, but I would do something like this:

1) convert pdf to html using https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX

2) manipulate the html however you need to. You could probably use cheerio for easier dom manipulation. https://github.com/MatthewMueller/cheerio

3) convert the html back to a pdf using something like jspdf. http://parall.ax/products/jspdf

I don't know if anyone on this list has had better luck, but I spent almost a week trying every html to pdf solution I could find and every one had some fatal flaw.  Just saying.

I've worked with PDF.js from Mozilla and it is pretty versatile. Not sure if it lets you edit the PDF, however.
