Description

Currently we only expose methods that are either strictly needed for anything to work at all, or that are needed to free memory. There's more functions we should expose because they can vastly improve the UX:

  • document_index_generate
  • document_save_as
  • document_attachments_get
  • document_attachment_save
  • document_get_information
  • page_search_text
  • page_links_get
  • page_form_fields_get
  • page_images_get
  • page_image_get_cairo
  • page_get_text
  • page_get_label

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing exposed methods in the crate to understand the pattern, then implement similar bindings for the listed functions. Refer to Zathura's documentation for each function's signature.
