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.

Platform Licence covers it Binary in the download
win-x64 Yes Yes
linux-x64 Yes Yes
macos Yes Yes

3. Install

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

javascript
const lumas = require('lumaspdf');

const pdf = lumas.createPdf('hello.pdf');
lumas.append(pdf);
lumas.writeFText(pdf, 0, 'Hello from LumasPDF');
lumas.endPage(pdf);
lumas.closeFile(pdf);
