The QPDF package provides some executables and a software library. A
|
|
|
|
|
user's manual can be found in the "doc" directory. The docbook
|
|
|
|
|
sources to the user's manual can be found in the "manual" directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The software library is just libqpdf, and all the header files are in
|
|
|
|
|
the qpdf subdirectory. If you link with -lqpdf and your system does
|
|
|
|
|
not know how to read libtool .la files, then you will also need to
|
|
|
|
|
link with -lpcre and -lz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To learn about using the library, please read comments in the header
|
|
|
|
|
files in include/qpdf, especially QPDF.hh, QPDFObjectHandle.hh, and
|
|
|
|
|
QPDFWriter.hh. You can also study the code of qpdf/qpdf.cc, which
|
|
|
|
|
exercises most of the public interface. There are additional example
|
|
|
|
|
programs in the examples directory.
