I’m pleased to announce the CamlPDF 0.5 release, which includes a couple of new modules (Pdfdate for date manipulation, Pdfannot for annotations and Pdfmarks for bookmarks). Almost every other module has been improved in some way.

More importantly, I’ve finally found time to write a short introduction to CamlPDF, which lets you try some basic work within the OCaml top level:

There have been some API modifications which are not backward compatible, but the changes to your source are easy to make. This should be the last release with such changes.

There is now a CamlPDF mailing list:

We’ve just released the latest version of our PDF Command Line Tools for Windows, Mac and Linux. The tools provide editing of PDF files including merging, splitting, adding text, compressing, encrypting etc.

New Features:

• Detect missing fonts and low resolution images for pre flight
• Remove embedded fonts for file compression
• Add text diagonally, and optionally relative to cropbox rather than media box
• Copes with malformed PDF files more robustly
• Many speed improvements, especially with large files

A new version of the CamlPDF libraries to reflect the changes with be released soon.
