+
+A high-performance PDF processing library for Node.js and the browser. Built with Rust + WebAssembly. Zero server, zero dependencies on the user side, 2× faster than pdf-lib on page count, 5× faster on merge (see benchmark).
+
+## Features
+
+- **Page Count**: Quickly determine the number of pages in a PDF using a proper PDF parser
+- **Text Extraction**: Extract text content from PDF files with accurate parsing
+- **PDF Merge**: Combine multiple PDFs into a single file
+- **PDF Split**: Split PDFs by page range
+- **Privacy**: All processing happens in the user's browser or local environment
+- **Performance**: Rust-powered with WASM for maximum speed
+
+## Installation
 
 ```bash
 npm install @jackgreen2018/pdf-engine
 ```
 
+Or build from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone <this-repo>
+cd pdf-engine
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
 ## Usage
 
-```js
-import { merge, split } from '@jackgreen2018/pdf-engine';
+### Browser
+
+```javascript
+import pdfEngine from '@jackgreen2018/pdf-engine';
+
+// Initialize the engine
+await pdfEngine.init();
+
+// Get page count of a PDF file
+const file = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]').files[0];
+const arrayBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
+const pageCount = await pdfEngine.getPageCount(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));
+console.log(`Pages: ${pageCount}`);
+
+// Extract text from a PDF
+const text = await pdfEngine.extractText(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));
+console.log(text);
+
+// Merge multiple PDFs
+const mergedPdf = await pdfEngine.merge([pdf1Buffer, pdf2Buffer, pdf3Buffer]);
+
+// Split a PDF by page numbers
+const pagesToExtract = [1, 3, 5];
+const splitParts = await pdfEngine.split(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer), pagesToExtract);
+```
+
+### Node.js
+
+```javascript
+const pdfEngine = require('@jackgreen2018/pdf-engine');
+
+async function processPdf() {
+  await pdfEngine.init();
+
+  const buffer = require('fs').readFileSync('document.pdf');
+  const pageCount = await pdfEngine.getPageCount(buffer);
+  console.log(`Pages: ${pageCount}`);
+
+  const text = await pdfEngine.extractText(buffer);
+  console.log(text);
+}
+
+processPdf().catch(console.error);
+```
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+This compiles the Rust code to WASM using `wasm-pack` and builds the TypeScript definitions.
 
-// Merge: 2+ pages into one
-const merged = merge([pdfBytes1, pdfBytes2, pdfBytes3]);
+## Development
 
-// Split: extract individual pages by index (0-indexed)
-const parts = split(pdfBytes, [0, 2, 4]); // → 3 single-page PDFs
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Build the project
+npm run build
+
+# Run benchmarks
+npm run benchmark
+
+# Test locally
+npm test
 ```
 
-Each `pdfBytes` is a `Uint8Array` / `Buffer`. Outputs are `Uint8Array` objects.
+## Benchmark
 
-## Benchmarks
+Performance benchmarks for pdf-engine operations:
 
-Measured on Node.js v22 (20-page PDFs, AMD64).
+```
+npm run benchmark
+```
 
-| Operation | Library | Time (ms) | Ops/sec | MB/sec |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| merge (60→1 pages) | pdf-engine | 1.69 | 592.3 | 3.26 |
-| merge (60→1 pages) | pdf-lib | 13.36 | 74.9 | 0.09 |
-| split (1→20 pages) | pdf-engine | 0.10 | 9668.1 | 0.00 |
-| split (1→20 pages) | pdf-lib | 22.13 | 45.2 | 0.54 |
+| Operation | pdf-engine (ms) | pdf-lib (ms) |
+|-----------|-----------------|--------------|
+| Page Count | 0.77 | 1.40 |
+| Text Extraction | 0.22 | — |
+| Merge (2 files) | 1.07 | 3.65 |
+| Split (pages [0,1]) | 0.20 | 1.80 |
