+Pikepdf is a Python library for reading and writing PDF files.
+It is based on QPDF, a powerful PDF manipulation and repair
+library. This library is similar to PyPDF2 and pdfrw - it provides
+low level access to PDF features and allows editing and content
+transformation of existing PDFs. Some knowledge of the PDF
+specification may be helpful. It does not have the capability to
+render a PDF to image.
+
+A whole slew of extra dependencies is needed for building the docs.
+To minimize the dependency list, this build script will not do this.
