Announcing the PDF.js Express Utility API

We are happy to announce the release of the PDF.js Express utility API! This API enables users to perform actions that PDF.js Express alone does not support, such as merging and extracting annotations.

This is useful in scenarios where you want to save PDF annotations directly into the document, instead of a separate XFDF layer, or where you want to load annotations that exist in a document the user provides.

Documentation and pricing for the API can be found here.

We also released a utility module to interact with these APIs here. This module handles all the license key and authentication steps required to use the API.

If there are any questions, please feel free to reply to this topic and we will do our best to anwser them.

Are there any free trial ?

Hi there!

Yes, you can try out the REST API for free. See this guide for more info.

Thanks, i just figure it out,

Hi there,

Is the utils package available for vanilla JS? We are trying pdf.js express like this, but it doesn’t appear like the utils package can be used like this.

Hi there,

No, the library is only available as an NPM module right now. You can still perform all the actions manually if you are unable to use NPM. See the documentation for more info,

Thanks,
Logan

I was able to use webpack to bundle the utils package as a global var and use it in a vanilla js application.
