pdfium-static

Static PDFium libraries for macOS, Linux, Windows and WebAssembly.

Built from pdfium.googlesource.com via GitHub Actions.

Download

Go to Releases and download the .a / .lib for your platform.

Each release is tagged with the chromium branch number (e.g. chromium/7543).

Build a new version

1. Go to Actions > Build PDFium
2. Click Run workflow
3. Enter the chromium branch number (e.g. 7543)
4. Wait ~15min for the build to complete
5. A release is created automatically with the static libraries

Usage with pdfium-render (Rust)

Match the pdfium_XXXX feature flag to the branch number:

# For chromium/7543
pdfium-render = { version = "0.8", features = ["static", "pdfium_7543"] }

Build config

Libraries are built with:

• No V8 JavaScript engine
• No XFA support
• Complete static library (pdf_is_complete_lib = true)
• Release mode, no debug symbols

The WASM build additionally patches PDFium's build system to support Emscripten as a target (see scripts/patch-wasm.py).
