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.
