PDF rendering server-side using HTML 5 + CSS 3
Are you looking for a way to render PDF's or produce them? If you want to produce PDF's, I've used https://pdfbox.apache.org/ successfully as well as https://itextpdf.com/ (potentially costs money).
-
So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand
If you don't mind using java, you can use the open source Apache PDFBox library
https://pdfbox.apache.org/
It's relatively performant and it's a mature and supported codebase that can accomplish most pdf tasks.

How I archived 100 million PDF documents... (Part 1)
So, when I started to view the documents, a lot of them simply failed to open. I had to look around for a library that could verify PDF documents. I had some experience with PDFBox in the past, so it seemed to be a good go-to solution. It had no way to verify documents by default, but it could open and parse them and that was enough to filter out the incorrect ones. It felt a little bit strange just to read the whole PDF into the memory to verify if it is correct or not, but hey I needed a simple fix for now and it worked really well.
- Best FOSS (ideally Docker) that can split PDF files ?
-
PDF processing and analysis with open-source tools
PDFBox can do this. It’s not part of the CLI but it wouldn’t be too hard to add:

Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
I'm facing that same pain point of programmatic PDF filling. I noodled around in the PDF format and learned it's a bit difficult to deal with fonts and formatting. But I think this client-side library works well enough, as a start: https://pdf-lib.js.org/#:~:text=a%20single%20document.-,Fill...
I've also heard of one paid API that I forgot but seemed to work well, and this related service https://www.jotform.com/, and I also considered porting some server-side libraries to WASM. One day I'll collect all the libraries and findings in a blog post.
Are you looking to programmatically fill any PDF form by detecting the fields? Or are you filling one known PDF template?

Show HN: PrivatePDF – minimal PDF editor that runs in the browser
Thanks! For PDF form filling, I use the APIs that pdf-lib [0] exposes. That includes text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns and options lists. Give it a try and let me know if you find a type of form field that's missing.
