Overview
A lightweight, pure-Dart library designed for parsing PDF files without relying on native dependencies. It supports reading all PDF structures, making it ideal for applications that need to extract text, metadata, or analyze PDF content programmatically. Built with cross-platform compatibility in mind, it works seamlessly across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The library is particularly useful for developers seeking a straightforward way to integrate PDF parsing into Flutter apps while maintaining full Dart-only codebases.
