PdfCraft
An alpha Rust PDF workbench for viewing, searching, annotations, forms and page organization, with native applications and command-line tools.
What can you do with it?
Inspect document viewing and page-operation workflows, including combining, splitting and automation through a shared PDF engine.
What should you know before using it?
Alpha. Existing-text editing, non-Latin OCR, Office interchange and advanced signature/preflight workflows remain limited; Word export can lose layout and Office-to-PDF is absent. Rendering still uses the separately authored hayro crate. The maintainers report unresolved crashes/hangs from fuzzing. This review did not validate editing, signatures or document fidelity.
What is verified here?
