Camelot

Camelot is a fast, nimble PDF generation and manipulation library.

Why the name?

In the Spring of 1991, Dr. John Warnock released a paper which first described the Camelot Project. The project's goal was to solve a fundamental problem that confronts today's companies. The problem is concerned with our ability to communicate visual material between different computer applications and systems.

Camelot (this library) is named after the thoughts and discussions laid out in that paper.
