I was surprised there were no comments before about this, but then I looked for the GitHub organization I found some discussion from 2022 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34104946

This sounds interesting, I've been looking for lightweight solutions to fill out PDF forms. The documentation could use some work though.
This is a great project. It's basically a Swiss army knife style tool, but for PDF files. I've been using it on & off for several years now for various projects.
I've been using "pdfcpu optimize" as a post-processing step for dynamically generated pdfs for several years now. Simple, well-documented, and fast. I've been very happy with it
Does something like this exist for C#?
Looks like a viable pdftk replacement, especially with regards to removing attachments which is not possible in pdftk
Looks impressive - it can do lot of PDF modifications using a single static binary.
How does it compare to unipdf except for the license?
Open Source pdf libraries usually suck because there's no one there being paid to work on them..
