PDF::Inspector : A tool for analyzing PDF output

This library provides a number of PDF::Reader based tools for use in testing PDF output. Presently, the primary purpose of this tool is to support the tests found in Prawn, a pure Ruby PDF generation library.

However, it may be useful to others, so we have made it available as a gem in its own right.

Installation

The recommended installation method is via Rubygems.

gem install pdf-inspector

Or put this in your Gemfile, if you use Bundler:

group :test do
  gem 'pdf-inspector', :require => "pdf/inspector"
end
