  • tesseract-ocr

    Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine (main repository)

  • Tesseract has Rust bindings and has been around for a while. It's not clear from your description what you're trying to accomplish, but I think for OCR, tesseract is an easy OSS way to start.

  • pdfium-render

    A high-level idiomatic Rust wrapper around Pdfium, the C++ PDF library used by the Google Chromium project.

  • Pdfium can do that. I maintain the pdfium-render crate, which will currently allow you to read (but not yet edit) the text on a page. I'd be happy to add the editing functionality for you. Take a look at https://crates.io/crates/pdfium-render, see if it sounds like it could be useful, and then raise an issue at https://github.com/ajrcarey/pdfium-render and we can add in the additional editing functionality you need.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
