OfficialDiagnose and fix pdf-lib load failures
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Diagnoses and resolves failures of PDFDocument.load() in pdf-lib 1.x that arise from encryption markers, malformed PDF objects, invalid input types, and unintended metadata updates, preventing silent data loss and corrupted outputs. It helps developers determine whether a PDF is restriction-only, content-encrypted, or structurally broken and provides corrective actions or safe fallbacks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Analyze load errors and map them to root causes such as owner-password restrictions, user-password encryption, malformed objects, or wrong input types.
- Prescribe concrete load option usage and recovery workflows including ignoreEncryption, throwOnInvalidObject, updateMetadata, capNumbers, and parseSpeed.
- Recommend pre-processing with external tools (qpdf, mutool, pdftk) for decryption and show safe patterns for archival, form-filling, and debugging scenarios.
Quick Start
Attempt a normal PDFDocument.load() and on failure retry with suitable options such as ignoreEncryption: true and updateMetadata: false or pre-decrypt the file with qpdf before loading.
