Golang wrapper for the MuPDF Fitz library

go-fitz

Go wrapper for MuPDF fitz library that can extract pages from PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX documents as IMG, TXT, HTML or SVG.

Build tags

• extlib - use external MuPDF library
• static - build with static external MuPDF library (used with extlib)
• pkgconfig - enable pkg-config (used with extlib)
• musl - use musl compiled library
• nocgo - experimental purego implementation (can also be used with CGO_ENABLED=0)

Notes

The bundled libraries are built without CJK fonts, if you need them you must use the external library.

Calling e.g. Image() or Text() methods concurrently for the same document is not supported.

Purego implementation requires libffi and libmupdf shared libraries on runtime. You must set fitz.FzVersion in your code or set FZ_VERSION environment variable to exact version of the shared library.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"image/jpeg"
	"os"
	"path/filepath"

	"github.com/gen2brain/go-fitz"
)

func main() {
	doc, err := fitz.New("test.pdf")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	defer doc.Close()

	tmpDir, err := os.MkdirTemp(os.TempDir(), "fitz")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Extract pages as images
	for n := 0; n < doc.NumPage(); n++ {
		img, err := doc.Image(n)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}

		f, err := os.Create(filepath.Join(tmpDir, fmt.Sprintf("test%03d.jpg", n)))
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}

		err = jpeg.Encode(f, img, &jpeg.Options{jpeg.DefaultQuality})
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}

		f.Close()
	}
}
