Install Node.js

A JavaScript binding with TypeScript declarations included.

1. Get the package

The download is public and needs no key — unlicensed output carries an evaluation watermark and nothing else is restricted. The package file is javascript.zip.

Download javascript

2. Check your platform

Two separate facts per platform: whether a licence key for this package covers it, and whether the download ships an engine binary for it.

3. Install

npm install lumaspdf
# or: unzip javascript.zip and npm install --install-links ./javascript

4. Licence it

A licence is one key string, set once at startup. Buying one and installing it is covered by how licensing works; until then the engine runs fully functional with an evaluation watermark.

5. Your first PDF

The smallest complete program: create, write, close.

const lumas = require('lumaspdf');
const api = lumas.load();

const pdf = api.pdfNewPDF();
api.pdfCreateNewPDFA(pdf, 'hello.pdf');
api.pdfAppend(pdf);
api.pdfSetFontA(pdf, 'Helvetica', lumas.fsNone, 24, 1, lumas.TCodepage.cp1252);
api.pdfWriteFTextA(pdf, lumas.taCenter, 'Hello from LumasPDF');
api.pdfEndPage(pdf);
api.pdfCloseFile(pdf);
api.pdfDeletePDF(pdf);
