This is the QPDF package. Information about it can be found at http://qpdf.qbilt.org. QPDF is copyright (c) 2005-2008 Jay Berkenbilt This software may be distributed under the terms of version 2 of the Artistic License which may be found in the source distribution as "Artistic-2.0". It is provided "as is" without express or implied warranty. To install this software, you can run ./configure make make install For more detailed information, see the "INSTALL" in this directory. 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.
