PDFlib V0.6
===========
Portable C library for dynamically generating PDF ("Adobe Acrobat") files.
Thomas Merz (tm@muc.de)
The PDFlib distribution is available from the following URL:
http://www.ifconnection.de/~tm
Overview
========
PDFlib is a C library for generating PDF files. It offers a graphics
API with support for drawing, text, font and images. Call PDFlib
routines from within your client program and voila: dynamic PDF files!
For detailed instructions on PDFlib programming and the associated API,
see the PDFlib Programming Manual, included in PDF format in the
PDFlib distribution.
Using a cute facility called SWIG, PDFlib can also be used from
within the Perl, Tcl, and Python scripting languages. As of version
0.6, scripting support is only available for Unix systems.
Features
========
- basic drawing
lines, rectangles, arcs, Bezier curves, ...
gray scale or RGB color
- text
text in different fonts and sizes, formatting
type 1 font embedding, AFM support
- output formats
ASCII85, ASCIIHex, or binary
- graphics file formats
support for TIFF, GIF, and JPEG files
- hypertext features
bookmarks (outline entries)
page transitions
