Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Just Say No
Maybe (most likely) this is a problem of GitHub's terminology. For genuine bugs, e.g. here's the repro, the stack trace, the code to replicate it, it happens 100% of the time if you follow these steps, I'd agree that just having it open and in the backlog would be preferable.
The problem is those make up maybe at a generous estimate, 10-15% of issues in a projects backlog. In the interests of full disclosure here's mine (I don't use stalebot) https://github.com/UglyToad/PdfPig/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissu.... As you can see from the backlog I close almost nothing. This was a deliberate choice to avoid closing things until the fix was confirmed by the reporter.
But equally that's the first time I've opened the repository in a couple of months and the amount of angst and dread I feel just from the size of that list means I'll probably find yet another excuse not to do anything on it this coming month.
Discussions on this topic feel a lot like "technical solutions to social problems"; by which I mean "well in the ideal world a perfectly logical person would do x, y, z so the system should reflect that". And while a stalebot is the archetypal technical solution to a social problem it at least works with how maintainers work. Sometimes in life you want to ignore a problem and have it go away. When you can't do that, e.g. government bureaucracy, work stuff, social obligations, that's where stress comes from. And asking volunteer maintainers to add a whole new source of stress in their life falls apart when people get busy, or their life circumstances change, or they get ill or tired or whatever.
Yes, in a perfect world the issue backlog would be sacrosanct and perfectly groomed/prioritized. But we're just fleshy sacks of chemicals and we're not perfect. Unrealistic expectations from users are the cause of maintainer burnout.
Because GitHub closed issues are still viewable and searchable (I'd guess most people search it through a search engine not the terrible inbuilt search) I'd disagree that they're deceiving users somehow.

There is framework for everything.
What about PdfPig? It's under Apache 2.0.

You could try PdfPig. https://uglytoad.github.io/PdfPig/ I've used it for some small tasks and found it very useful. If you want to handle scanned pdfs you would need to use OCR instead.

Hacking from anywhere
1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

CMV: The Second Amendment "right to bear arms" and the discussions surrounding gun control also apply to hacking tools.
I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Penetration Testing
This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
