MuPDF for Dlang

This repository contains Dlang bindings for MuPDF and tools to auto-generate them for arbitrary versions.

Usage

1. Build and install from MuPDF sources, or alternatively:

   sudo apt install -y libmupdf-dev
   

2. Add the package via DUB:

   dub add mupdf
   

3. Import the package, and follow the MuPDF API documentation as needed, e.g.:

   import mupdf;
   

   void main() {

   auto ctx = fz_new_context(null, null, FZ_STORE_UNLIMITED);
   auto doc = pdf_open_document(ctx, "path/to/file.pdf");
   
   // ...
   

   }

Note the following remarks:

• All PDF_NAME(x) macro invocations must be replaced with PDF_NAME_x shorthands.

Current known limitations of these bindings:

• Only POSIX support for now.
• Many helper functions defined via preprocessor macros are not available.
• Exceptions via fz_try, fz_always, fz_catch are not supported.

Build

To generate Dlang bindings for an arbitrary version of MuPDF:

1. Install DPP.

2. Run the script generate.sh and follow usage instructions, e.g. to generate bindings for mupdf-1.19.0 run the following command:

   ./generate.sh 1.19.0
