+* Encrypt and decrypt
+* Scale, crop and rotate pages
+* Read and set document info and metadata
+* Copy, add or remove bookmarks
+* Put multiple pages on one (imposition)
+* Stamp logos, text, dates, page numbers
+* Add or remove attachments
+* Losslessly compress PDF files
+* Convert PDF files to and from JSON
