# PDF Library (Pdf)

Functions for working with PDF files, loaded into Stof via the custom Data type. Requires the "pdf" feature flag to be enabled.

## Pdf.extract\_images(pdf: Data\<Pdf>) -> list

Given a data pointer to a PDF document, extract all images from every page, returning them as a list of maps with image data.

```rust
// import './test_stof_pdf.pdf'; // taken from stof PDF format tests
const images = self.pdf.extract_images();
assert_eq(images.len(), 1);
assert_eq(images[0].get('height'), 500);
assert_eq(images[0].get('width'), 1250);
```

## Pdf.extract\_text(pdf: Data\<Pdf>) -> str

Given a data pointer to a PDF document, extract all text from the PDF file and return it as a string.

```rust
// import './test_stof_pdf.pdf'; // taken from stof PDF format tests
const text = self.pdf.extract_text();
assert_eq(text, "Example Stof\nDocument\n");
```
