Pdf Mod Vs Pdfshuffler

Posted on -

I want to be able to generate PDF output from my (native) C++ Windows application. Are there any free/open source libraries available to do this?

I am looking for a pdf editor for Ubuntu which allows me put similar kind of. Or rotating pages of a pdf document then Pdf-Shuffler is just perfect, even. Btw, besides reordering and rotating pages, what can PDF Mod do?

I looked at the answers to this question, but they mostly relate to .Net.

Haru is a free, cross platform, open-sourced software library for generating PDF written in ANSI-C. It can work as both a static-library (.a, .lib) and a shared-library (.so, .dll).

Didn't try it myself, but maybe it can help you

I worked on a project that required a pdf report. After searching for online I found the PoDoFo library. Seemed very robust. I did not need all the features, so I created a wrapper to abstract away some of the complexity. Wasn't too difficult. You can find the library here:

Enjoy!


If you're brave and willing to roll your own, you could start with a PostScript library and augment it to deal with PDF, taking advantage of Adobe's free online PDF reference.

PDF Hummus.see for http://pdfhummus.com/ - contains all required features for manipulation with PDF files except rendering.

jagpdf seems to be one of them. It is written in C++ but provides a C API.

It depends a bit on your needs. Some toolkits are better at drawing, others are better for writing text. Cairo has a pretty good for drawing (it support a wide range of screen and file types, including pdf), but it may not be ideal for good typography.

  • LibHaru seems to be used by many.

A non-open source approach is: PDF Creator Pilot which provides more language options including C++, C#, Delphi, ASP, ASP.NET, VB, VB.NET, VBScript, PHP and Python
