  Golang PDF library for creating and processing PDF files (pure go)

  

Yeah, they don't do that and, if you look at their GitHub, their source code is a purposely obfuscated mess with a proprietary license; so it's not real FOSS. Example: https://github.com/unidoc/unipdf/blob/master/ps/ps.go

• gopdf

  A simple library for generating PDF written in Go lang

Now, a good example of PDF processing in Go can be found in the gopdf library. Their source is clear and uses an actual FOSS license. Example: https://github.com/signintech/gopdf
