The latter sentence is mostly useless, IMHO.

I'd go with:

 PoDoFo is a library and set of tools to work with the PDF (Portable
 Document Format) file format.

This C++ library is free and portable. It includes classes to parse
PDF files and modify their contents. It can also create PDF files.

Do not make a paragraph for each item.

 Included tools:
  - podofoimgextract: extracts all jpeg images from a given PDF file;
  - podofouncompress: removes all compression filters from a PDF file.
                      useful for debugging existing PDF files;
  - podofopdfinfo   : provides some basic info about a PDF, such as
                      metadata, page details, etc.
  - podofotxt2pdf   : converts a text file to PDF.
