Building a PDF parser so you don’t have to

Previously, there wasn’t a PDF library that allows parsing of PDFs that was open source, MIT licensed and under active development. The PDFParser by smalot, while having been very useful over the years isn’t under active development anymore. The parser of Setasign is not MIT licensed and not open source. And several other packages rely on java/js/python dependencies being installed that are called by PHP behind the scenes, losing any type information and underlying structure.
