Hey, I'm looking for a library that would allow me to edit a PDF document with my Nest API. What I'd like to do is search for a string in a PDF document and replace it. I've done quite a bit of research, but I keep coming across libraries that don't handle PDF modification, at least of the text. I'd love to hear about any searches or libraries you know of! Thanks in advance!

Yep, it's the first one I've tested, unfortunately it doesn't have the functionality I'm looking for. For example, it lets you add text to an existing pdf, but what I want to do is edit existing text.
You may have to struingify the pdf, find and replace, and create a new pdf in place of the old one
Not sure if you'll find a library for what yoyu're looking for otherwisde
Yes, I had considered that, but coming from the basic Java environment, I'm shocked that there isn't more of a JS library for it, in Java it's far from what's missing.
I would guess you'd eventually be able to field.setText on a field of the page of the document, and the doc.save. Seems a little convoluted, but that's kinda how pdfs are
