Is there an npm module to modify a pdf file in node.js?

I'm building a node.js app on Bluemix that should take a pdf file as request and then grey out (blank) some part of the pdf file. And also here the pdf file is the same for all, and the area we need to blank out will be fixed. So can anybody suggest an npm module that can perform this kind of functionality?

Yes I guess the most common used library is pdf-lib. Take a look at the official page.

Please try Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK for Node.js available at GitHub and npm. It provides API methods for a wide range of document processing operations; including creation, manipulation, conversion and rendering of Pdf documents in the cloud. You can use Redaction Annotation to grey out the required PDF area.

P.S: I work with Aspose as Support Developer

I suggest you to try HummusPDF. Specifically take a look at the Hummus - Modification page, that explains how to edit existing PDF documents. In your case you could try to use the feature that allows to draw shapes.
