4d-plugin-pdf-kit
=================
Perform basic PDF manipulation on OS X.
* ``PDF INSERT PAGES`` is rewritten to internally duplicate trailing pages before inserting new pages then finally remove the duplicate pages.
* ``PDF REMOVE PAGE`` is rewritten to internally exchange the target page before removing it.
## New in 1.4
* Removed the "retain" patch for earlier El Capitan crash problem.
* ``PDF REMOVE PAGE`` is restored to use original code.
**Note**: Most page commands (insert, remove, exchange) will not work if a page is rotated. The plugin is not using PDF Kit to simply rotate a page, but rather, calling CGPDF to re-draw such pages on a rotated context. You should rotate the page at the very end.
## New in 1.2
Passing 0 to ```PDF SET PAGE ROTATION``` will rotate all pages.
Fixed El Capitan issue for ```PDF SET PAGE ROTATION``` and ```PDF REMOVE PAGE```.
##Commands
```c
// --- Page
PDF Count pages
PDF GET PAGE
PDF SET PAGE ROTATION
PDF REMOVE PAGE
PDF EXCHANGE PAGES
PDF INSERT PAGES
PDF GET PAGE ANNOTATION
//El Capitan
PDF SET PAGE ROTATION2
PDF REMOVE PAGE2
// --- Picture
PDF Data from picture
// --- Document
PDF GET DOCUMENT ATTRIBUTES
PDF SET DOCUMENT ATTRIBUTES
PDF Get document version
PDF Get document text
```
