About this project
BearMetal PDF Tools is a collection of tools made to fix the current state of PDF form editing. Adobe Acrobat is a great tool, but it's not always the easiest to use, nor is it free. It also lacks some features that I find useful, such as bulk renaming of form fields. There's also a lack of powerful, free, and open source tools for PDF editing.
This project aims to fill that gap by providing a set of tools that can be used to edit PDF forms. The tools are written in Deno, a modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript. They are designed to be easy to use and to provide a great user experience.
The tools are designed to be used in a terminal, and are not designed to be integrated into other applications. They are also not designed to be used as a library, but rather as a command line tool.
