in reply to The best library for reading PDF

Best according to which metric? Fastest? Most memory friendly? The one with the least crashes? The nicest API? If the latter, according to *my* tastes, *yours* or someone elses? The one that install the fastest? The one with the best documentation? The one that comes with free fries? Something else?

Unless you can give any indication what "best" means to you, any of the answers that actually mentions a distribution is going to be utterly useless to you.

    Ok , best for me means that has complete functionalities for reading the text . I don't like to discover , maybe after some months of use , that I cannot update the code simply because the function I need has not been implemented ....

      Given that you can see the source for these modules you could add your own functionality for whatever unimplemented feature you may need.
