libqpdf v0.1.1

libqpdf native binding for nodejs

Based on https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf (version 8.0.2).

The interface deliberately follows the C++ interface, no attempt to JS-ify the interface is made, except that std::vector is mapped to a JS Array and std::set / std::map is a Set / Map.

Methods returning a std::string in C++ will return a JS Buffer or a JS String, depending on what seems to be more appropriate in the particular case.

As JS can only represent integers up to 2**53 accurately, QPDFObjectHandle::getIntValue (returns 64 bit integer) is not wrapped. Use QPDFObjectHandle::getNumericValue().

TODO:

• add more methods of QPDFObjectHandle
• QPDFObjectHandle::parse from Buffer
• create wrappers for QPDF and QPDFWriter (esp. io/streaming note: reader needs random access)

Specials:

npm run install --with-libjpeg (requires -ljpeg to be available)
