MuPDF overview

What is MuPDF?

MuPDF API is a lightweight PDF, XPS, and eBook viewer, and renderer. The small yet fast viewer supports a number of document formats including PDF, XPS, OpenXPS, CBZ, and ePUB. The renderer is designed for high-fidelity anti-aliased graphics and renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel.

Interactive features supported by MuPDF include annotations, form filling, digital signatures, redactions, and search. The command line tools provide users myriad customization options for rendering and converting documents, and manipulating PDF files. MuPDF supports document conversion to other formats including HTML, SVG, and CBZ.

In addition to the C library, there's a Java library using JNI that works for both Oracle's Java and Android. In addition to the Java API, C++ and Python bindings have been developed. MuPDF supports most of the major coding environments and operating systems. It is highly flexible and optimized for each unique platform.

Artifex is now the maintainer and developer of PyMuPDF, comprehensive Python bindings for MuPDF. PyMuPDF provides access to a vast range of MuPDF functionality from within the Python environment. Supported by extensive documentation, demos, and example scripts, integrating advanced PDF functionality into your Python applications is fast and easy. PyMuPDF can be found on PyPi and Github and has been downloaded more than 25 million times.
