Q: What do I need to work with PS/PDF files?

A: APFill allows you to measure the ink coverage of PDF files. This method is more accurate than measuring directly from the screen.

It is a AGPL library for PDF files and can be downloaded from https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/tag/gs920/ .
