How can I convince myself and my boss to buy unipdf rather using a free alternative?
The choice is yours. There are multiple respectable efforts out there that can do many useful things.
In UniDoc, we work hard to provide production quality builds taking every detail into consideration and providing excellent support to our customers. See our testimonials for example.
Security. We take security very seriously and we restrict access to github.com/unidoc/unipdf repository with protected branches and only the founders have access and every commit is reviewed prior to being accepted.
The profits are invested back into making unipdf better. We want to make the best possible product and in order to do that we need the best people to contribute. A large fraction of the profits made goes back into developing unipdf. That way we have been able to get many excellent people to work and contribute to unipdf that would not be able to contribute their work for free.

The GoDoc for unipdf provides a detailed breakdown of the API and documentation for packages, types and methods. https://godoc.org/github.com/unidoc/unipdf
Overview of Major Packages ¶
The API is composed of a few major packages:
common: Provides common shared types such as Logger and utilities to check license validity.
core: The core package defines the primitive PDF object types and handles the file reading I/O and parsing the primitive objects.
model: The model package builds on the core package, to represent the PDF as a structured model of the PDF primitive types. It has a reader and a writer to read and process a PDF file based on the structured model. This serves as a basis to perform a number of numerous tasks and can be used to work with a PDF in a medium to high level interface, although it does require an understanding of the PDF format and structure.
creator: The PDF creator makes it easy to create new PDFs or modify existing PDFs. It can also enable loading a template PDF, adding text/images and generating an output PDF. It can be used to add text, images, and generate text and graphical reports. It is designed with simplicity in mind, with the goal of making it easy to create reports without needing any knowledge about the PDF format or specifications.
extractor: Package extractor is used for quickly extracting PDF content through a simple interface. Currently offers functionality for extracting textual content.
